We all know how important reading is to a child. Not to mention how fun it is to read to them and watch their expressions as the story seems more fascinating to them with each turn of the page. It is even just as important to do that with children that are disabled, even if they are severely disabled. They will still enjoy the story as much as the rest of us do.
Too often, parents of children with disabilities underestimate their child's potential for developing literacy skills. Reach Out and Read providers can help these parents make books and love of reading part of their children's lives as well.
