Embark on the literary journey as we kick off National Reading Awareness Month with Read Across America Day on March 2nd, 2024!
Throughout March, communities across America unite to celebrate Reading Awareness Month, fostering a love for reading, writing, and literacy among children. The significance of books in shaping early childhood development cannot be overstated. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) has curated a compelling list highlighting the 13 invaluable things babies learn when we read to them. Dive into the wonders of early literacy with their insights, available here.
Explore a wealth of insightful resources on reading to children from Zero to Three.
Help Celebrate this important holiday! Read today and every day!
