As a teacher librarian, formerly a classroom teacher for over ten years, a mother of two and life-long avid reader, I am passionate about the joys of reading for pleasure to support literacy development. I believe that early literacy development is dependent on exposure to a wide range of quality texts. Children should be introduced to picture books as early as possible. They will learn to "read" and comprehend the pictures well before they can read the words.
The following books are my "recommended reading" according to age group.
