If you can read, you can do anything.


Introduce your toddler to one of the facets of the wonderful world of reading. Visit your local bookstore or library and sit down for hours and read any book you want. Some stores have CDs and tapes with listening stations. Many bookstores offer Storytime or special author book signings. Take time to browse and sample some new books together and you will gain some wonderful insight into your child's interest and pre-reading skills. When you are done enjoy a hot chocolate at the bookstore or library cafe.
