"Deprive
children of stories and you leave them unscripted, anxious stutterers
in their actions and in their words."
Alasdair MacIntyre
"Children who come from homes where books are being read get access
to the kinds of abstract and complex ideas that you can only get hold
of easily through exposure to extended prose. The rest are being fed worksheets."
Michael Rosen
