We Read!

I will not bore you with the multitude of research that says reading is important. Just know that I have studied and researched this topic endlessly. In a nutshell, reading increases vocabulary, raises test scores, and promotes social, emotional, and intellectual growth. With love in my heart and a book in my hand, I challenge you to read with your child. Model not only the skill of reading, but also the LOVE of reading. Like my friends in this book, I hope you will find a unique and creative place to read. “Hugs and Books!”
