Great Books

Great Books for Kids – Reading is Fundamental

  • Great books for kids involve lots of repetition!!!
  • Books can inspire your children, expand their imaginations, and help them become better learners
  • Create a “literacy rich home” – This describes a home environment that encourages children to become lifelong readers.  Families can support language learning by creating an atmosphere in which reading, writing, and talking are a natural part of daily life.
