Site Summary: "Parent-child literacy activities in the home, such as helping children recognize letters, reading to children, or assisting children with reading and writing assignments, have been found to improve children’s language skills and heighten their interest in books."
This site includes statistics and charts to back up it's claims. We chose this site because statistics are a powerful persuader, and the goal for our website is to encourage and help parents in reading to their children.
