The sooner the better
Research shows that high-quality learning early in a child’s life leads to lasting success at school and at work, and to children who are more well-rounded emotionally and socially. Reading together at home is one of the simplest ways to start: children who are read to from an early age build richer vocabulary and stronger listening and language skills before they ever enter a classroom.
- Read aloud together for a few minutes every day
- Talk about the pictures and ask your child questions
- Keep books within easy reach at home
