Reading to your children at any age is important, but even more so when they’re little!

Reading books to our children is SO important 👏🏻

By reading to children, you provide them with a deep understanding about their world and fill their brains with background knowledge. They then use this acquired background knowledge to make sense of what they see, hear, and read, which aids their cognitive development. 📚

Good news for Ontario students!

Relegated in 2006 to an optional piece of learning in Ontario elementary schools, cursive writing is set to return as a mandatory part of the curriculum starting in September.

Research continues to show that handwriting is directly linked to language and literacy in numerous ways. This is why I teach and support proper handwriting skills to my students.

Special thanks to Michael Boorsma for my new Welcome sign. Summer is just around the corner and I’m booking now for extra Reading and Writing sessions to help maintain these important skills!

Reading with your children teaches them the necessary sounds they need to become successful readers!

Not only does reading together give you a chance to bond with each other while also strengthening your child's language skills and imagination, but the simple act of reading aloud to your child can also do so much more. 📖
