Language
Exposing your small ones to words and the sounds they make can help them understand the language months before they can speak. Meter, rhythms and rhymes grow their ability to process language. As they age, moving them up through the book levels will help them master the language with ease!
Concepts of print
Reading to your children and showing them the pages as you go, grows the awareness of how books are written. Words in English are read from left to right, from top to bottom, and from one page to the next. Showing them the structure and the idea that those words represent what is on the pages is valuable to start as early as possible.
Early Skills
Number books and Alphabet books are a great example of easily repeatable tools you can use to help your child get a head start on elementary education! Books on toilet training and brushing teeth can help explain life skills to them as well.
Later Development
As your child grows, they will have access to endless amounts of skill refinement and review, and a place to find and develop new topics of interest! Reading grows and shapes the ability to learn as they get older.
