Reading Tips

Why should I help my child with reading at home?

Reading is an important key skill for your child to learn and recognize even at an early age. They will see words everywhere in the world around them, from signs on the road to ads on TV. By reading to them, they are able to connect the sounds to the letters on the page and begin to develop an understanding of words and their uses.

Reading also helps to develop your child's vocabulary. As books include different words than what we typically use in our everyday lives, it can widen their vocabulary as well as improve their understanding and the context surrounding the words they already know.
