Reading enriches the mind. The question is how to read effectively? How can we enlighten our children? I believe there is a key to wisdom and we parents are to unlock the treasure; eventually, the children become the
key-holders.
As a Dad of two kids, I am obliged to look for the key to wisdom. Fortunately, First Teacher Training conducted by Bring Me A Book Hong Kong sets a clear direction for all parents. The workshop illustrates main ideas of read-aloud on a systematic, scientific basis. I tried and tested the theories at home. Frankly speaking, it’s challenging to spare time and effort to read-aloud, but I will keep striving for the good of my kids. Like any other parents in Hong Kong, I have high hope in my kids. Under education reform, New Secondary System and Liberal Studies all require students to demonstrate a broad knowledge base and creativity. Learning is no longer limited to areas in humanities, science and business. Times are changing, so does the education system; students should take the initiative to read a wide variety of books.
Good habit is built up since young. Let’s not wait! Read with your child to open the gate of wisdom!
