October 23, 2015 by Elizabeth Babbin Leave a Comment

All those years of reading to your child as a baby and toddler should be really paying off! At 3, you may start to notice that the emotional benefits of reading aloud are beginning to change with your child’s development. Reading aloud together not only help your child grow to love reading, but it also helps kids begin to make sense of the world around them.
