Creating your library, whether it’s on your own bookshelf or through weekly library rentals, is important for a kid’s growth and development. Kids can learn about empathy and diversity through fun stories, all while refining different skills!
The Toy Insider’s Little Library series will highlight five books at the end of each month that will fill your home with laughter, love, and learning.
In March, which was National Reading Month, several kids’ media outlets released resources to help parents and kids increase their positive feelings toward reading. While building literacy skills is an important task for kids and their guardians, it can be difficult to manage. Check out Sesame Workshop’s free resources before or after adding these five books to your little one’s reading list.
