Another benefit of a good night’s sleep is improved vocabulary!

Researchers say children who learn new material thoroughly and then get quality sleep are more likely to store the information in their long-term memory than those with disturbed or inadequate sleep.

So, be sure your little scholar is getting proper rest!

Reading to children is one of the best and most valuable gifts you can give them as they are growing up, and it’s never too early to begin. Reading aloud helps children develop language skills, sparks their imagination, and teaches them how stories work. And as they evolve from infants to toddlers to preschoolers, reading to children will help them learn to read themselves.
