Reading to your child at an early age is one of the most important things you can do to insure future educational success. When you read to your child you model the rules of language, build vocabulary, teach listening skills and encourage imagination. In addition to all that, reading with your child provides an incredible opportunity for the two of you to spend time alone together... time that you will later long for and remember as precious.
What about music? Most experts agree that music can strengthen a child’s mind and serve as a basic building block for learning. Music develops patterning and memory skills. It stimulates brain connections which many believe can actually make children smarter.
