Mothers' Reading Club Encourages Children's Reading

An excellent summary of this program for Roma mothers in Slovakia can be found on: 
Educate--Women's Reading Club

Reading aloud is an acquired skill--even reading children's books to your own children. But it is incredibly important to read to your children. An article called, "What No Bedtime Story Means" by Shirley Brice Heath explains this in more detail. The article is available in several formats online and is excellent reading for any educator working cross-culturally (at home or abroad).
