READING SEED

A seed is just a seed, without water, sun or air.

A child’s reading is like a seed,  that needs nurturing, love, and care.

Beneath the soil is a seed, that may stay the same or grow.

A child’s reading in the summer, is just the same you know.

This summer have your child read, and help their READING Seed to grow! Author unknown
