Really?

Use a word you/ve never heard?

Not often, especially for a child.

There are three ways for words to enter a child’s brain.  Through their eyes.  Through their ears.   Or through touch.

Most children are blessed with vision and hearing … thankfully.

Since children cannot read with their eyes (yet), that leaves their EARS!

That leads us to an extremely important reason to read aloud to children!

Reading aloud builds a knowledge base for eventual success in learning.

Reading aloud develops background knowledge, vocabulary, and ability to listen.

And it’s just plain fun for kids!

It’s easy to understand how shared adventures can strengthen relationships.

Read!  Read!  Read!  It’s so good for children!
