One of the most important ways we can help children learn is by reading to them.
- It helps children develop the mental processes of motivation, curiosity, and memory.
- It helps children develop early language skills.
- It provides a time for one-to-one attention and affection, which encourages children to have positive feelings about reading.
- It can help children cope during times of stress or tragedy.

Thanks Dianna I agree. Reading was always a priority when my sons were children- I read to them, and they even read to me. It’s one of my fondest memories.
