🐯 This week’s tip: Winter Break Reading & Family Time!

Winter break is a wonderful opportunity to slow down and enjoy reading together. Set aside a few cozy moments each day to read as a family—snuggle up with a favorite book, take turns reading aloud, or listen to an audiobook during car rides or quiet time. Encourage your child to choose books they enjoy and feel confident reading, and talk about the story together by asking questions like, “What was your favorite part?” or “What would you do if you were the character?” These shared reading moments support literacy skills while creating special memories that last well beyond the break.
