The Nurturing Nest Family Child Care & Preschool March 2026 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!   The Turtle, the Beaver and the Pond by Chris Lensch Snakes by Kate Riggs In the Small, Small Pond by Denise Fleming From Tadpole to Frog by Wendy Pfeffer One Duck Stuck by Phyllis Root First Things First by Chris Lensch Near One Cattail: Turtles, Logs and Leaping Frogs by Anthony D.
