Neighborhood news

by Jennifer M. Brabander
Nov 16, 2011 | Filed in Using Books
Our downstairs neighbors, the super-cool nonprofit organization Reach Out and Read, are now providing some handy reading tips on the Pampers Village website. Their advice includes helpful information on how to “read” wordless books with children, why dads should read aloud with their kids, what rhyming books do for your toddler’s brain, and how military families can benefit from reading aloud together. The articles covering child development, early literacy, and school readiness for parents each conclude with a brief list of recommended books. Though aimed at parents, the content will be of interest to anyone involved with kids and their books.
