Reading Tips for Families with Kim Schneider
Kim Schneider, a Program Specialist focusing on early literacy in San Bernardino County, discusses the importance of reading to young children. She emphasizes that reading builds language skills, vocabulary, and comprehension, citing research by Hart and Risley, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the National Institute for Literacy. Schneider recommends interactive reading, using expressive tones, and creating a routine. For different age groups, she suggests sturdy board books for infants, interactive books for toddlers, and alphabet and counting books for preschoolers. She also highlights the importance of making reading a daily habit, even if it's just a few minutes.
