Here's the practical help most grandparents wish they had when they were first parents!

Read to Bond
Reading together is one way families can strengthen their ties. Studies show that children who are read to by their parents from an early age develop stronger bonds with them. Reading together is also a powerful strategy for turning reluctant readers into confident bookworms!
This workshop aims to give parents the skills to turn reading into an enjoyable and productive family activity that will promote healthy relationships and improve their child’s literacy.
