What do daily enjoyable encounters with books help children to experience?

Daily enjoyable encounters with books help children to experience literacy as important, enjoyable, and useful. Engaging with books in a fun and interactive way fosters a positive attitude toward reading and learning. When children have access to a variety of books and are encouraged to explore stories through activities such as reading aloud, discussing illustrations, and relating narratives to their own lives, they develop a love for reading. This cultivates an understanding of literacy not just as a necessary skill but as an enjoyable and valuable part of their everyday experiences. As they connect with the content and the pleasure of storytelling, children begin to recognize the practicality of literacy in navigating the world around them.
