Title:	Indicator of the Month: Early Literacy Experiences in the Home
Description:	Family participation in literacy activities provides valuable developmental experiences for young children. In addition to developing an interest in reading, children who are read to, told stories, and visit the library may start school better prepared to learn. Engaging young children in literacy activities at home also enables parents and other family members to become active participants in their children’s education at an early age.
