The Nurturing Nest Family Child Care & Preschool December 2024 Reading   The following books complement topics and concepts that I will be introducing this month. Choose some books to use with your child at home. Read the books frequently to your child to encourage literacy skills. Reading to children at a young age will encourage them to become good readers themselves later on. Remember, a positive attitude toward reading is contagious!   Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb by Al Perkins Zin! Zin! Zin!
