It’s Valentine’s Day. So why not celebrate it in style! This year Erin Jackman put together an awesome list for kids and parents alike to enjoy. She says:
“Valentine’s Day and reading might not be an obvious connection, but tailoring a child’s reading to the big events that are already occurring in their lives is one of most effective and fun ways to increase their enthusiasm about literacy, for Valentine’s Day, tap into children’s eagerness to swap heart-shaped cards with their classmates by introducing them to a book based on the holiday.â€
