Books For Children
Literacy is an essential skill that strongly impacts a child's future. Reading to and with your child not only creates a strong bond, but it also forms good habits and teaches that reading can (and should) be a fun experience. The
Association of American Publishers cites various findings about the impact of reading on early development
here. While you are probably already aware of the importance of literacy, the findings are worth taking a look.
Books By Age
Kids of different ages have different needs when it comes to reading. Below you will find suggestions below from the
National Education Association (compiled by teachers across the country) and from
About.com. Update releases are listed by The Children's Book Council and the
New York Times.
