Back-to-school time is quickly approaching, and a great way for your kids to brush up on those reading skills is to read school-themed books! Books that talk about being brave, making friends, being yourself, or themes that can help with those separation jitters. There are so many benefits to early childhood reading.
“If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book yet.”- J.K. Rowling
It has always been very important for me to find books that would interest my kids. I love reading books that open discussion, stories that are fun but lend themselves to helping kids work through emotions. A bonus for great bonding time, while sharing your love of reading.
