Parent Perspective
We asked our Family Leadership Council: What is your favorite time or place to read with your child(ren) and why? Read their responses and maybe take a moment to reflect on your own answer.
- “Reading has always been a special activity shared between our family. While I enjoy reading any time or place my absolute new favorite is having my 7 year old read to us (myself, dad, and younger brother) while curled up together in our bed. Core memories made feeling pride, love, and a whole lot of joy.”
- “El momentos idóneo para leer con mis hijas es después de comer, de pequeñas leían junto a mí en voz alta, ahora lo hacen en su habitación” / “The ideal time to read with my daughters is after eating, when they were little they read out loud with me, now they do it in their room”
