The Nurturing Nest Family Child Care & Preschool May 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!   The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle How a Seed Grows by Helene J.
