Reading to children has many benefits for their intellectual and emotional development. On Midday Edition Tuesday, KPBS hears about the challenges military families face during family reading time. Plus, a librarian explains the power of story time for kids and provides book recommendations.
S1: It's time for Midday Edition on Kpbs. March is National Reading month. We'll talk about programs to get your kids excited about opening the books. I'm Jade Hindman. Here's to conversations that keep you informed , inspired , and make you think. A program connects military families through reading.
S2: So while we have technology now that can connect us instantaneously or do video chat , sometimes that's not available to our military families due to connectivity issues or like I said , different time zones. Right when my husband was deployed to the Middle East and our daughter was very young , whenever he was free to talk , she was not awake or she might have been at daycare. And so it was really hard to find those times for them to connect.
S2: So routines are really important for young children and for all kids really , so that they know what to expect next. You build in those expectations. So you wake up , you brush your teeth , you get dressed , you eat breakfast , you go to school , and then in the classroom , teachers have routine set as well , right ? Like English is always at the same time. Math is at the same time , all of that. So kids know what to expect next.
S2: And what we always tell families is to first pick a book that you think the kid is going to enjoy. So if they don't like something , don't pick a book about that. If they're old enough to help pick out a book , definitely go with them to the library or the bookstore , or look on our website. We have a book list of over 400 books , and you can look at it together to pick something out that looks exciting to them.
S3: Yeah , you're taking me back to my love of , uh , Doctor Seuss , uh , product of San Diego. Yes. Um , one of my favorites of his that I read to my kids was called Mr. Brown. Can you , can you ? It's so great. It's so good , I love it. Yeah. S4: If you are enjoying yourself , the audience will be enjoying the storytime as well. That is why you meet so many children's librarians who are passionate about what they do.
S4: I had a relationship with the Museum of Contemporary Art , and they offered to contract me to continue doing storytime on their previous play day , which is a day the museum is free for the public once a month. And somebody else contacted me. City Ballet of San Diego reached out. Where'd you go ? We miss you. And you know now a librarian on the go as their outreach librarian.
S3: Recently , we've heard a lot about some of these efforts at , you know , book banning and controversies centered on libraries , some of them in San Diego County.S3: You know , earlier we were talking about some books and you mentioned Where the Wild Things Are , which is like a favorite of of both of ours. One thing that jumped out is , you know , you made the point. You know , book banning is nothing new , of course.
