What To Do With All These Books?

We hope all of our books enable parents to spend time with their children through reading, but raising readers books can also be used in many different ways to help a child grow and develop, and even build their brains!

The Raising Readers website, as well as each book your child receives at a well child visit contains activities you can do with your child using the book and the story inside.

From learning rhythm and rhyme to bringing a character to life through fun craft projects, to developing important literacy skills your child will use his or her whole life, a book is also a great tool for helping you build your child's brain and creating a whole new set of fun things for you to do together!

We believe books go far beyond quiet reading time in a comfy chair, (although that sure sounds like a great place to start) and extend to helping you take an active role in your child's life. Make use of the activities in the back of each raising readers book, and go to your local library to find even more fun things to do, and story hours to enjoy. Books are meant to be read, and so much more!

Thank you from Raising Readers!
