Classic Read Aloud Books
Research has shown that children who are read to have a well developed vocabulary. A child can listen to books that they could not read independently. Books allow you to share important topics that will enrich their social and emotional development, such as friendship, prejudice, and empathy. Most importantly, it is a sweet time to connect with your child for some quiet relaxation.
