Beyond school readiness benefits, reading with young children helps them expand their horizons, explore their feelings, conquer their fears, and connect with important adults in their lives.
This one hour web conference will explore:

• the newly developed, searchable Children’s Book Database from the eXtension Alliance for Better Child Care.
