Answer to Question 1

Books can help to inform and explain much about the natural world that children see around them. Books may be read prior to an experience to prepare children for the new learning. They may also be read after the experience to clarify misunderstandings, to provide still more information, or to reinforce the learning. Reading is a springboard to further discussion. Children can also learn about other cultures through literature. This leads to the development of empathetic relationships and a reduction in bias. Young children frequently share the reading with an adult, providing an opportunity to discuss the story and to clarify concerns or questions.
