When you find yourself indoors during the bitter cold days of winter, pick up a book and enjoy active reading! Reading with a child or friend will keep both of your minds exploring new things and enhances relationships.
Reading can provide an opportunity to connect with those separated by distance. You can read together during a video chat or have a book club that meets by phone or video! Adults may also be finding themselves helping youth with their academics, and active reading can make the experience rewarding for all!
As you dig into reading, check out this K-State Research and Extension resource to help make sure your time is filled with quality learning experiences and lots of fun! Emergent Literacy: Helping Young Children’s Development through Reading ― https://www.bookstore.ksre.k-state.edu/pubs/MF3161.pdf
