| "Helpful Hints for Helping Your Young Reader" February 11, 2010 West Melbourne Library This was our second seminar aimed at educating young families on the importance of reading and sharing tips on how to encourage reading in the home. Does reading at home make a difference? At 14 weeks old, a child that has been routinely read to has an attention span greater than a kindergarten or first grade child that has not been read to on a regular basis. See how you can make a difference for your child. Check out our Parents Page |
