Have fun reading aloud all different sorts of books – start with your favorites.

Reading aloud helps build brain pathways by lighting up and activating neurons.

Children learn language skills by listening to new words and sound patterns.

Discuss the story by asking, “What was your favorite part?” “Favorite page?”
