Did you know that children begin to develop reading and writing skills during the first three years of life?

Parents and caregivers are instrumental in helping children learn to read- even toddlers love to turn the pages of a book!
Children who are exposed to books and reading have:
• Greater brain development
• Higher test scores later on
• Better opportunities for career and college
• Greater self confidence
Tips for parents:
• provide books, paper and crayons for your children to play with
• read books to your children throughout the day and at bedtime
• let your children turn the pages of the book
• point to the words when you are reading the book, or, let your child point out the words if they are older
• make reading fun by singing the words or talking about the pictures
Visit your local library, thrift store or discount store for no cost/ low costs books.

Meet presenter Heidi Murkoff, the inspiring mom behind the iconic “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.” Her journey started with her own pregnancy, seeking answers and much needed advice. From that moment Heidi was on a mission to help other expectant parents rest easier at night.

With over 22 million copies of her book in print and still breaking records as the longest-running title on the New York Times bestseller list, Heidi’s impact didn’t stop there! Her passion for maternal health led to the creation of the What to Expect Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting moms in need around the world.

Please join us in welcoming our distinguished host and presenter, Heidi Murkoff at the New Parent Support Program (NPSP) Baby shower on August 11. Space is limited, so you must register on Eventbrite: http://ms.spr.ly/6189gAAFH
