💙 Why Reading Together Matters

Reading aloud with your child builds language, strengthens relationships, and supports school readiness.

Even a few minutes of shared reading each day helps children develop early literacy skills and a lifelong love of books.

Make it part of your winter routine—grab a blanket, pour some cocoa, and cuddle up with a good book!
