Reading to our children is an important part of getting them ready for school. When children have the opportunity to spend time enjoying books with their caregivers it fosters a love of books that will inspire them to want to learn to read and encourage them to become life time learners.
– When we spend time with our children reading books, we help them develop their listening skills and their imaginations.
– Talking to our children about the stories we read together helps our children develop their thinking and language skills.
– Looking at pictures and listening to us read the book introduces children to new words, new information and new ideas.
