Get your children back into reading (and away from screens)

Reading benefits:

  1. Increases vocabulary
  2. Strengthens the brain
  3. Reduces stress and anxiety
  4. Increases empathy
  5. Improves sleep

If you’re reading to your children, research shows that the benefits of physical books (opens in new tab) outweigh those of tablets
