Plant the seed help them read

THERE is nothing quite as beautiful as getting lost within the pages of a good book. For children, reading is not only vital for their development and for learning basic communication skills, but it can be an enjoyable hobby that stretches the span of their life. That’s why we’re asking you, parents, to plant the seed and help them read, with our latest Great Australian Storybook Collection which kicks off this weekend. We believe every bookshelf should be stocked with the best Australian stories, so we’re making that as easy as possible. We’re giving away 15 of the classics for just $2.30 with the paper every day for the next two weeks. It kicks off in The Sunday Mail this Sunday with a FREE copy of Possum Magic and a collector’s case. From next week, grab The Chronicle every day and The Sunday Mail on Sundays.
