Why Literacy Matters
“Just exposure to words is the single most important thing that you can do to help build the language pathways in your child’s brain. Reading and exposure to words helps kids maximize their language and cognitive capacity.”
- Laura Phillips, PsyD, a neuropsychologist.
"Young children whose parents read to them daily have been exposed to at least 290,000 more words by the time they enter kindergarten than kids who aren’t read to regularly."
