February is a special month as we celebrate National Reading Month, highlighted by World Read Aloud Day. Reading is essential for our preschool students, laying a strong foundation for their learning and development.
Here are some key benefits of reading for young children:
- Language Development: Reading enhances vocabulary and language skills.
- School Readiness: It prepares children for the school environment.
- Imagination and Creativity: Stories spark creativity and imaginative thinking.
- Strengthened Parent-Child Bond: Reading together fosters connection and communication.
- Focus and Listening Skills: Reading helps children develop the ability to concentrate and listen attentively.
- Important Life Lessons: Stories often convey valuable lessons and morals.
You might wonder how reading improves focus and listening skills. During reading time, children learn to slow down and concentrate on one story, practicing patience and following along. This activity encourages them to notice details and enhances their memory skills.
Let's make the most of National Reading Month by exploring new stories together!
BRRRRRR…….It’s cold outside! Please send your child to school with the appropriate cold weather gear each day. We will be outside unless it is raining or the temperatures are below 20 degrees.
