Read Across America Day! Here are just a few reasons to make reading part of your daily routine! Reading to your child has a profound impact on their vocabulary - just 20 minutes of reading per day exposes them to about 1.8 million words a year. The quality time spent reading together promotes bonding and strengthens the relationship between child and adult. Keep reading and join us during the week of March 13 - 17 for the Scholastic Book Fair!!
