Reading Play
What do children learn from Reading Play?
Early literacy skills are the foundation of all learning, and third grade reading proficiency is a critical benchmark. Until grade three children learn to read, after grade three, children read to learn.
Reading to your child encourages a love of learning. Making reading at bedtime a routine makes bedtime a positive experience for children and parents.
