According to the Children’s Bureau of Southern California, there are seven benefits to reading to children. These include supported cognitive development, improved language skills, preparation for academic success, developing a special bond with the child, increased concentration and discipline, improved imagination and creativity and cultivating a lifelong love of reading.
You have an opportunity to help accomplish this during “Thanks for Reading Week,” a program sponsored by Kids Incorporated of the Big Bend. During the week of Monday, Nov. 13, through Friday, Nov. 17, volunteers are being sought to spend 30 minutes reading to children in Madiso
