Reading to your children regularly bonds you and them together.

What’s more, reading kick-starts the imagination.

And not just your children or grandchildren. Reading to neices and nephews or neighbor kids works. Or try reading with your husband or wife or a friend.

There is a power in the written word. Maybe in 50 years, an electronic device will have the same magic as a print book does now. Maybe. But books have a very long history. Because you see, early Christians were technological innovators. From around the year 100, they began using what we call a codex: a very book-like means of transmitting information.

So something like a book has been around for some 1,900 years. Make use of that technology and connect with those you love.
