Sharing wordless books with your child encourages the development of pre-reading skills like storytelling. Being able to describe things and events and tell stories is essential to being a successful reader. Check out the book A Ball for Daisy by Christopher Raschka and many other wordless books in our ECRR display this month at the library.
