Reading at home with your children is one of the most powerful ways to support their learning and development. By reading together, you expose them to a wide variety of words, helping to expand their vocabulary and understanding of how language works. Make reading part of your daily routine! Even 15 minutes a day can make a huge difference. Let's inspire a love for reading as we Grow Together! 📖❤️
