READY FOR SCHOOL

Together, we can ensure that 15 MINUTES of daily reading aloud goes from a recommendation to a parenting must.  

Why?  

Because,

• when more children are read aloud to daily, more children will be kindergarten ready;
• when more children are kindergarten ready, more children will succeed in school; and
• when more children succeed in school, we all succeed.

 "Foster school success" 

KEEP READING ALOUD TO YOUR CHILD

Develop Language: 

• ONLY 48% of young children in this country are read to each day.  
•  The number of words that a child knows on entering kindergarten is a key predictor of his or her future success.  
• Research shows that reading aloud is the single most important thing you can do to help a child prepare for reading and learning.

WHY NOT READ ALOUD?

Read Aloud 15 MINUTES. Every child. Every parent. Every day.


From birth to age 3 are critical years in the development of a child's language skills.
