Read to your Little One(s) Early

I stumbled upon a fantastic story by Irene Sege via Eye on Early Education.  This article reiterates something I have touched on before, but states things in a very cut and dry manner.  There cannot be enough emphasis on the value reading to our children from an early age provides.  A few key bullet points from the article are listed below and you can also read the full article at: http://eyeonearlyeducation.com/2013/04/04/early-experience-shapes-later-literacy/

• “Children who enter school having been read to at home scored, on average, 35 points higher on the PIRLS test than children whose parents did not read to them”.

• “Students who like reading have an advantage of 54 points over those who do not like reading”.
