It's Read Aloud to a Child Week!

This year's theme is BE COURAGEOUS!

We're celebrating stories about characters who show bravery, resilience, and determination when faced with challenges.
Reading aloud is one simple way to support your child's language and brain development while creating meaningful opportunities to connect.

Whether it's one book, one chapter, or just a few minutes together, make time to read!
