Did you know that reading promotes skills in ALL areas of development?
It encourages language, motor, cognitive, social, and adaptive skills.
Early literacy skills start from birth and continue to unfold as your child is in school.
Reading books are not the only way that your child gains these skills.
You can promote early literacy through daily play activities such as drawing with chalk or even pointing out signs when you drive by.
You can also sharpen these skills by showing them different types of literature such as magazines.
