Read Aloud! 15 Minutes A Day... Any Time, Any Place, Any Way!
/Does reading aloud really matter? YES! Research shows that reading aloud is the single most important thing you can do to help a child prepare for reading and learning.
Committing to even just 15 minutes a day is enough to make a difference! If you start at birth through 5 years of age, your child is getting 27,375 minutes of quality brain, literacy and social emotional development!
Any time: Make it part of your routine - bedtime is a great time to read aloud!
Any place: Books are portable - in the waiting room, next to the bath tub, or by the high chair!
Any way: Kids get something from reading whether they sit still or not! Read to squirmers, shakers and upside-downers. Just read aloud!
