Let’s face it, reading is IMPORTANT…could you go an hour without needing to read something (an e-mail, a medication bottle, a recipe, a text message, a bill, etc). We read constantly throughout the day and the literacy skills that we have as adults began in our childhood. As parents, we must instill an importance in reading in our children from as early of an age as possible as children do not have to know how to read to get a benefit from reading.
