And how important is developing the love of reading For children and the power of imagination for developing imagination young minds?
Scientific research has found that plasticity and neural re-modelling continues in varying degrees throughout our lives. However, the infant brains will to understand and connect creates continuous episodes of imagination, as the brain formats itself for the future. Children have creative imaginations which give them the ability to visualise, creating make believe scenarios which have not yet happened.

A child`s ability for critical thinking and creative problem solving evolve from imagination-think back again to Albert Einstein! Imagination encourages a child to think outside the box, giving them the freedom to experiment with different thoughts, ideas and perspectives, which stimulates their ability and desire to overcome obstacles and create solutions for themselves.
Imagination never ceases, for to imagine is to be human – but it is the imagination of childhood that is continually retrained, sharpened, qualified and given direction as we grow. However, it can only develop if a good foundation is laid down at the crucial time of exceptional plasticity-early childhood. And this is why it’s so important to develop a love of reading in younger minds.
