Reading time…a period of bonding between children and adults. There is a sense of intimacy and well-being that children feel when you read with them (or to them).
We are intentional about incorporating reading activities in the classroom because brain scans show that hearing stories strengthens the part of the brain associated with visual imagery, story comprehension, and word meaning…a huge part of literacy development.
If you don’t read to your child at home, make sure your child’s teachers are reading to them in school.
