Summer Reading Suggestions

Language Development and Books

Current research in early childhood development continues to validate the importance and influence of quality, age-appropriate books for young children. The significant positive impact that it has on language development is especially apparent with early reading skills, and the development for a true love of learning. In addition, when the child has the opportunity to sit quietly and listen to a story with a parent, skills such as attention and concentration are being reinforced, which then eventually carry over into a more academic setting – the child’s school.
