Dear future KA families,
Below is a list of suggested books to read with your child over the summer. While these are not mandatory, there are many benefits of reading with your child. Studies have shown that reading regularly to young children leads to better communication skills, improved logical thinking skills, and an overall increased mastery of language. Most importantly, you are sending your child the message that reading is fun!
I look forward to meeting you in September. Happy reading!
