Books To Read Before Kindergarten & Why Reading Is Important

 We do a lot of reading in our house. Reading to your child is important in many ways.

• It allows you to spend quality time with your child and grow that special bond.
• It's been proven out there somewhere that reading to your child in their early years; like before preschool, can help them succeed in their education.
• Speech. It allows them to learn the correct sounds.
• Believe it or not but reading to your child will teach them how to express themselves.
• When your child is going through a certain state of emotions etc. there are stories out there you can read so they don't feel alone and understand.
• Reading can help develop a child's imagination.
• It can also teach a child learn how to use their solving skills.
• I could go on and on but lastly it also shows a child that reading is fun and most likely they will want to continue to become a great reader themselves and learn to love books.

With that being said I wanted to share a list of books to read before your child enters kindergarten that I had received.
