Student Ratings & Reviews
The importance of reading as it helps in the brain development of children is what got my attention and that reading starts from birth.
Let the kids read is very important. The performance oriented ways. Read so that the child can understand.
Very informative and useful hints to share with parents to encourage reading at home from an early age
Excellent
