The Importance of Education - Guest post by Ella Johnson

We as parent know that Education is a fundamental human right. Our children and every child in the world are entitled to it. Education is not only important but critical to our children’s development as individuals. Development leads to a successful future and we must ensure that our children must have a quality education. If the child doesn’t have the basic of comprehension in reading, it can slow down or hinder his or hers’ learning in all subjects. Reading is the fundamental skill of all learning.
It is never too soon to start your child on the path to reading. That is why Memorable Children Books & Gifts is committed to offering basic tools like Giggles Computer Funtime for Babies ages 6 – 36 months. Babies learn about and play with shapes, colors, animals, letters, numbers and more! All in different fun-filled and uniquely baby friendly environments – all they have to do is touch any key on the keyboard! Each title includes 14 unique key-tapping activities and over 50 wonderful songs!
We like to put our children in front of the television to watch their favorite shows like Disney Princess, Cars, Winnie the Pooh, Elmo and Friends, Dora the Explorer and many more. So why not read to them their favorite shows by personalizing a book with their name in it to make reading more fun for the child.
According to the U.S Department of Education, “Research shows that children who read well in the early grades are far more successful in later years; and those who fall behind often stay behind when it comes to academic achievement. Reading opens the door to learning about math, history, science, literature, geography and much more. Thus, young, capable readers can succeed in these subjects, take advantage of other opportunities (such as reading for pleasure) and develop confidence in their own abilities. On the other hand, those students who cannot read well are much more likely to drop out of school and be limited to low-paying jobs throughout their lives. Reading is undeniably critical to success in today's society.”
Reading to children is crucial and parents should find time to read with their children instead of leaving it to the kid’s teachers. Don’t forget that reading out loud exposes children to proper grammar and phrasing. It helps to enhance the development of their spoken language skills and their ability to express themselves verbally.

Education is the most important and significant treasure we can have in our lives - not money nor wealth - but education. It may seem that only those who has money can educate themselves. But, we can actually share and educate others who are willing to learn and be educated only if we are also willing to help them. Most of us suffer because we lack proper education - and I think proper guidance and education is the only way to solve our society issues, problems and a lot more. e-learning courses
