Early literacy exposure and reading aloud to children is a critical step in making sure a child is ready to enter Kindergarten. In this episode, we discuss early literacy–what that means and why it's important, what books are appropriate for what age groups and additional resources for parents and caregivers to make sure their infant is school ready and develops a love for reading and learning early on!
This episode written by Drs. Jess Huang, Lena Rothstein and Dean Blumberg.
