Interview of Mrs. Bush by Matt Lauer, NBC's Today ShowVia Satellite7:49 A.M. EDTQ Thousands of people all over the country are reading to kids today,promoting literacy and early childhood education.Q This is all part of Jumpstart's "Read for the Record" campaign.Among the readers is the First Lady, Laura Bush. Mrs. Bush, goodmorning to you, nice to see you.MRS. BUSH: Good morning, Matt.Q This is such a great program -- we were involved last year -- itstresses the importance of reading to your children at an early age.And before we talk about the children around you right there, what kindof a daily ritual was reading in your home when you were growing up andhow did you pass that along to your children?MRS. BUSH: Well, my mother read to me every night before I went to bed.It was a very important part of my childhood -- so important, in fact,that I ended up making my career out of reading and becoming alibrarian. And then George and I read to Barbara and Jenna until theycould read to us, and that was really fun. It was a really wonderfulway to end the day, with your arm around your child and reading to them.Q Why is it so important, do you think, Mrs. Bush, to start readingto your children when they are very young?MRS. BUSH: It's very important because one thing children learn frombeing read to is that the words on the page correspond to the words thatyou actually say. You have to be taught to read; you don't just learnit naturally. And all of the things that parents do when they read totheir children when they're little, starting from when they're babies,give their children the pre-reading skills that they need to learn toread when they start school.Q And you were reading the story of "Ferdinand" to the children, andwe're all going to read the same book today.MRS. BUSH: That's right.Q And could you just tell me a little bit about the children you'rewith there?MRS. BUSH: Well, I'm with children from Pershing Hill ElementarySchool; they're in the 1st grade. Pershing Hill is on the Fort Meadebase here, an Army base in Maryland, it's close to Washington, D.C. Afew of these children's parents are deployed now. It's a great school,it's part of the Anne Arundel County School District.Q That's nice. Well, Mrs. Bush, thanks so much. Enjoy the book.MRS. BUSH: Thanks so much.Q It's a pretty big deal for them -- I can imagine they're going toget older and they're going to say, then there was the day that theFirst Lady actually read a book to me.(Laughter.) So that's kind ofcool for them.MRS. BUSH: They all read, they say, at home every night, so that'sgreat.Q Good message. Thank you so much.MRS. BUSH: Thank you.END 7:51 A.M.
