You, now, are an important part of their later success. Reading to children everyday makes all the difference in the world. The kits, developed by early childhood professionals, offer a tremendous resource for you and your children. Recent research shows that children under three years who are sung to, played with, cuddled, and READ to are building bridges in their brains that will last a lifetime. Without lots of stimulation, these bridges are never made and future learning is affected.
Books introduce children to a wide variety of experiences.
Sharing books creates a special bond between parent and child. Even newborn babies enjoy being read to. Reading to very young children gives them an early love of books and encourages them to be lifelong readers. Each kit contains six to eight picture books, an audio cassette, and a parent's resource book offering activities or information on the growth of your child.
