Take a Trip to the Library
Reading is one of the best things that you can do with your child. Books can take kids (and parents) on far-away adventures. When you read to them, you can help children build comprehension skills by asking questions along the way. When they read to you, they can build vocabulary and fluency that will help in nearly every subject in school. Plus, reading a book keeps kids off devices for a little while each day.
