Tips for Parents from The Children's Reading Foundation of the South Sound_Bertie

"I notice the children who come in really look forward to seeing which books we have and their parents even take time to sit and read to them while waiting for appointments. It's nice to see the change from parents focusing on their phones/tablets, to really engaging with their children, reading and helping their imagination + creativity grow!"

"The children love the stories. They remember the sequence of the stories, and will ask about the books even when the story teller is not here. They enjoy their books they receive as gifts."
