Jessica is reading a story aloud to her 3-year-old daughter, abigail. abigail's father says, why are you bothering? it's not like she's going to learn to read from that. what would you tell abigail's father about reading to preschoolers?

The correct answer is - He's wrong; children whose parents read to them as preschoolers tend to be better readers in elementary school.
He is definitely wrong - many studies show that it is quite important to read to children in order to make them more prepared both for school and for life. Books are a valuable resource for parents who want their kids to be academically inclined, and foster the love for reading in the future. Also, it will be easier for those kids to read in elementary school than those whose parents never read to them.

answer: military leaders, supporters of the confederacy and supporters of the union.

explanation:

on november 19, 1863, the speech delivered by president abraham lincoln, known as 'gettysburg address', was intended for politicians, military officials, notable citizens as well as general public, and members of the press who had gathered for the ceremony held in gettysburg, pennsylvania. this ceremony was being celebrated since, in that same year, the battle of gettysburg took place in rural pennsylvania, leaving thousands of men, both union and confederate, killed. lincoln argued about equality within the nation, and the purpose of the war being a "new birth of freedom."on the other hand, there is no relation between lincoln's gettysburg address and his son.
