Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! The best way to celebrate anything, in my opinion, is with books! Researchers at THE Ohio State University estimate that children who are regularly read to can learn ONE MILLION more words before entering Kindergarten. Imagine that! Such a small action like reading can have a huge impact! We have a whole bookshelf full in our playroom (that are oftentimes used to make big towers LOL) and then a smaller, forward-facing bookshelf where I keep seasonal titles displayed so Jack can see their covers.
