As parents, we all want to give our children the best start in life. One simple but powerful way to help your child succeed in school and beyond is to encourage daily reading. Just 15–20 minutes a day can make a big difference in your child’s growth as a reader and learner.
Whether it’s reading aloud together, listening to an audiobook, or your child reading independently, daily reading helps build strong foundations that last a lifetime.
Here are some of the many benefits of daily reading:
📚 Positive Outcomes of Daily Reading:
