Read to Me & ABC

Read to Me & ABC is a simple, easy-to-implement preschool "program" I designed for my youngest son, Simon.  Notice that the Read to Me comes before the ABC. Reading to your child is SO important. I would argue that it's one of the most important things you can do with your child–and anyone can do it!  Read more about how to start with Read to Me & ABC.
