We all know that reading to our child is important? But do you know HOW important?
Research suggests that if you read 5 books to you'd child everyday, they will go to school having heard 1.4 million more words than a child who has never been read to. Even just reading 1 book a day, your child will have heard 290,000 more words compared to a child who hasn't been read to. These statistics are incredible!
We've curated our own list here at The Know & Play Space of 50 books we think children should read before they are 5! All of them are books we have read and LOVE.
