In kindergarten and primary school the teacher is a Very Important Person.
Parents would frequently hear, “But TEACHER said so”. When said by the teacher, there is
no further arguing about it.
The teacher can make the reading nest a cosy place where they sometimes read books aloud -
fairy tales, prose, poetry, reference books. Yet sometimes, the teacher might read or browse a
book by themselves, soon a child or more would join to do the same, it is especially true with
younger children. Sitting in teacher’s lap would be a particularly nice place for reading a book.
