Children's Lit

Reading is fundamental to the growth and academic performance of all students, especially in their early years. Statistics show that children who are read to from a younger age are 77% more likely to succeed academically and show an interest in reading. 

Good literature is important to the growth of student learning because it helps us better understand the world around us. So many classic stories have been told for generations because their message is still just as impactful and inspirational as it was then.
