Read-alouds are the best holiday gifts for young readers because they help them discover the excitement in receiving a book — all while building their foundation for reading skills!
Building a solid reading habit from a young age has tremendous benefits for kids, now and later down the road. The holidays are a perfect time to curl up with a book and reinforce a love of reading. Especially if there are extra family members around to participate in the fun, enlist grandparents, aunts, uncles and more to help create memories centered around reading.
Whether your family has tried-and-true favorites you return to this season or your kids are gravitating towards all-new holiday titles featuring a favorite new character from Clifford to Peppa Pig – we have fantastic gifts to both read and share this season.
