Quote N° 4

“…reading is one of the joys of life, and once you begin, you can’t stop, and you’ve got so many stories to look forward to.”

Having worked in primary and elementary education for nearly a decade, I have to say one of the traits I admire most about Benedict Cumberbatch is his love of reading. His Harrow education certainly contributed to his expansive vocabulary and (occasionally) verbose responses during interviews, but the point is that he is both an advocate for and an example of how a love of reading shapes your imagination, your critical thinking skills – your very being. I’m especially glad that he promotes sharing that love of reading with children.

From my experience, creating a world with words – and seeing a child’s face as they imagine it for themselves as they listen to you read to them? It is one of the most wondrous moments to share with a child – a treasure.

Here’s the source of our quote – as well as one of the many stories Benedict has narrated, perfect for the child in your home – or the child that remains within you, no matter your age.
