Here’s sue brady with ‘the WIC nutrition buzz’ of the week!
November is massachusetts family literacy month. Make reading a part of your family routine. Did you know reading to your child helps them become better listeners? It also helps them build their language skills and their readiness for reading in school. Parents play an important role in their child’s literacy development. Here are some ideas for how you can make reading a part of your family routine: read to your child everyday. Set aside a special time for reading. Talk to your child about the stories you read. Visit the library for story hour and other activities. Limit television time and have ‘no-tv’ night with your family on a regular basis. Take the time to read books, magazines, and play board games. Reading will have a positive impact on the development of your child as they prepare for the school years and beyond.
