Fostering a Love of Reading

Abstract

I always knew reading was something I wanted to foster in my home since I knew many of the benefits—bonding with your child, language development, empathy, and emotional awareness. After welcoming children into our family, kids’ books have flooded our home; you can find them everywhere, on a shelf in the family room, scattered in a playroom, in bedrooms, and in the car.

Reading is part of our daily routine. While books are always accessible, we make sure to take time each evening to curl up with a few books before bed—something simple but consistent during the days that often become so busy.
