Every parent has likely been given the same advice regarding reading to their child: do it, and do it often. Yet, according to a previous National Read Aloud study, while the majority of parents believe in the benefits of reading to their children, fewer than half read aloud to their children every single day. And while the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends daily reading of at least 15 minutes beginning from birth, fewer than one in 10 parents reported meeting this expectation. In this newsletter, we review the value of literacy and provide tips for improving your child’s skills in this area of development.
As Thanksgiving quickly approaches, we at CTC would like to extend our gratitude to our many families. We are thankful for you and your child’s dedication and commitment , and wish you a blessed year ahead!
