Why is reading important?

Reading is crucial for early childhood development because it enhances language skills, stimulates cognitive development, fosters imagination and creativity, and builds a strong foundation for academic success.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends reading with your child at least 15 minutes a day to foster early literacy and strengthen the parent-child bond.
