WHY IS READING SO IMPORTANT?

*Reading 20 minutes every day with a child does not seem like much, but over five years, it means over 600 hours of rich and varied learning experiences.

*Reading a variety of books builds vocabulary; the number of words that children know when they start school is a key predictor of their academic success.

*Parents and caregivers who regularly read with their children develop important and enduring bonds.

*Reading can help children develop clear interests and feel confident and competent in their ability to master material.

After reading the article, I was so pleased and proud of all of our families that are completing the monthly reading calendars. Keep up the good work and know that you ARE making a difference!
