 Reading with your child for just 15 minutes each day builds strong literacy skills such as increased vocabulary and background knowledge to support comprehension.  Additionally, it helps them become confident and lifelong learners. This small daily routine also strengthens your connection with your child and fosters a love of stories, curiosity, and learning.
