Birth to Age 5

• For the birth to age 5 children, we know the importance of children being exposed to books at an early age at home. • I t’s also important for the parents to understand how verbal interactions and read-alouds help to develop the child’s brain long before they enter Kindergarten. • If parents are aware of what it means for their children to be “kindergarten ready” and have resources and activities at home to help students develop those skills, the students are more likely to enter school on level and have more success in their early years of education and beyond.
