Kindergarten Literature
Description
The most important thing you can do to set the stage for teaching your child how to read is to spend lots of time reading to your child. No age is too young to begin enjoying books together, and we recommend reading at least one to three children's books to your child each day during the preschool and kindergarten years. These can be a mix of books recommended in this course, and others that you and your child choose at the library.
