Valentine’s Day Books for Kids
Reading books with our kids is one of our favorite Valentine’s day activities. It’s a family activity the whole family can enjoy. Kids of all ages come together for read-aloud time and happily listen, help read, or read aloud themselves. It improves cognitive development, language skills, and academic success, but it especially helps to develop the bond you have together.
