read stories. According to Pike,
the inspiration for the program
was motivational speaker Jim
Trelease, author of the "Read
Aloud Handbook." He spoke to
parents, teachers and caregivers
on Friday as a kickoff for the
festival. The program was
designed to educate parents and
caregivers on the importance of
reading aloud to children.
Dr. Lorraine Stewart, a pro
fessor of education at Wake
Forest University, attended this
session. "It was an excellent
presentation. It helped to rein
force the need for parents to be
involved with their children. It
helped parents understand how
they can be creative in reading
to their children," she said.
"We were looking for a fun
and persuasive way to convey
the message of reading to the
community. We feel that the
most powerful way to reach
parents is to involve their chil
dren in the activities of reading
and storytelling," Pike said.
Rene Andrews from
Children's Outreach Forsyth
County Public Library praised
the festival for its encourage
ment of reading aloud to chil
dren. "It helps develop critical
thinking skills, analytical skills,
creativity and problem solving,
as well as it helps them appre
ciate cultural differences," she
said.
