In today’s news, World Food Programme gives lifesaving aid to Afghan families. European Union climate advisors recommend vegan diet and agricultural policy reform, Australia starts wetland restoration program to protect shorebird-people, solar-powered electric vehicles gain popularity in Tunisia, Aulacese, also known as Vietnamese, actress-MC runs shelter for single mothers, UK company introduces mushroom-based vegan meats, and blind dog companion comforts caregiver who had double heart attack in United States.
I’m deep into my latest book on the best vegan diet for dog-heroes and it got me to thinking about your children. So, I’d like to share a tip on helping children develop strong reading skills at home. Everyday activities like reading together, drawing, singing, storytelling, reciting, playing games, and using rhymes all support language development, comprehension, and focus, while also building a positive attitude toward reading. Try shared reading by taking turns reading parts of a book and encourage your child to talk about or enact the story to learn what they think or feel. Choose books based on their interests to keep them engaged and give positive feedback along the way. Asking open-ended questions helps develop critical thinking and deeper understanding. For younger children, nursery rhymes are especially effective in strengthening early language skills and building a strong foundation for reading.
Laughing is healthy for your mind and heart. So, let’s enjoy the joke of the day called, “Need 18.”
Garcia dragged 18 of his friends to the cinema for a late-night premiere.
“Garcia, you’ve lost it. Why do we need exactly 18 of us just to see one movie?”
“Because the rules are strict, Sarah! The ad clearly says: ‘Under 18 not allowed.’”
?!
