The Missouri Humanities Council's READ from the START program is centered on the joy of family reading. It is based on the conviction that parents are a child's first and most influential teachers, and that the love of books and stories begins at birth. When parents take pleasure in books, that pleasure is conveyed to the child. Children who grow up hearing stories and looking at books fall in love with language.
