Connect Reading with Real World with Lola Plants a Garden
Reading helps children build their imagination, but it also connects them to the outside world. When children are introduced to new topics and concepts like planting
a garden by reading about it or looking at pictures in a book and then see and experience in the real world it helps them build their knowledge and curiosity of the environment around them.
The Book Club’s October title for Four-Year Olds, Lola Plants a Garden, introduces children to the world of plants and gardening. With the help of the reading guide, parents can use the book to spark their child’s interest in the outside world. The guide encourages parents to
talk with their kids about the topic before reading the book, and then connecting it to their own life. There
is also a simple activity that will help children see how planting works that will keep them engaged for weeks.
Parents can also take a nature walk with their child and point out plants, flowers and trees, and talk about how the environment nurtures the plants and what they need to thrive.
