 Summer is the perfect time for families to read together; it's a great activity for ALL ages, and it helps schoolchildren keep up their reading skills so they can start the next school year ready to learn!
Parents of preschoolers (and babies, too) can join in the reading fun! Research has shown that young children whose parents read aloud to them have better language and literacy skills when they go to school. Summer Reading Kick Off
