Language Program
Parents want the best for their children, and one of the most powerful things they can do is to help their children become readers for life. Research shows that your involvement in your child's reading and learning is more important than anything else in helping them to fulfil their potential.
- Reading together is fun and helps build relationships.
- Books contain new words that will help build your child's language and understanding.
I would recommend trying to read at least 15 minutes per night.
