Reading to young children is crucial for their cognitive and emotional development. It helps build their vocabulary, language skills, and comprehension abilities, laying a strong foundation for future academic success. Engaging in regular reading sessions enhances children's listening skills, attention span, and memory retention. Additionally, reading fosters creativity and imagination, allowing children to explore new worlds and ideas beyond their immediate experiences. The interactive nature of reading aloud also strengthens the parent-child bond, providing a sense of security and nurturing a love for books and learning.

Beyond language development, reading to young children promotes empathy and emotional intelligence. Stories often present various characters and situations, enabling children to understand and relate to different perspectives and emotions. This understanding is vital for their social development, helping them to navigate their own feelings and relationships. Moreover, the routine of reading together creates a comforting ritual, offering children stability and a sense of routine. In essence, reading to young kids is not just about literacy; it’s an essential activity that enriches their overall growth and well-being.

We rejoice in my brother-in-law Barry being released to a rehab facility today after his horrible accident, but today is bitter sweet. Last September we unexpectedly lost my Dad, while Mom was in the hospital, he just took a nap and never woke up. Today was Dads first Heavenly Birthday. Dad came up with the idea for this page in my newest childrens book.....it will always hold a special place in my heart and I know He and my brother Tom are looking down on us and cheering us on!!!

We are so excited to present all of our great silent auction items during our Spaghetti Supper Fundraiser THIS Saturday from 4pm to 7pm at Atlantic Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company! Winners will be announced at 6:45pm but do not need to be present to win. If possible, please pick up that night by 7:30pm.
