The Threat of Censorship
Censorship has been a persistent issue throughout history, with various forms of control exerted over people’s reading habits. In ancient Greece, for example, the ruling elite would often censor works deemed subversive or threatening to their power. Similarly, in the 19th century, the British government censored works deemed obscene or threatening to public morals.
The Power of Reading Aloud
Reading aloud is a powerful tool that has been used for centuries to build attention, imagination, and vocabulary in children. It is a means of social bonding and tradition that has been passed down through generations, and it is essential for fostering a love of reading in young minds.
Reading aloud is not just a way to pass the time or entertain children; it is a way to shape their minds and lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
