Transitioning from the baby to toddler stage is no easy feat, but the more Jade’s awareness and skills grow, the more excited we become. Read and Discuss Stories is one of our favorite Basics from both stages, as it aids Jade’s intellectual development and our family bonding time.

We have been reading books to and with Jade since she was first born. Now, she not only reads with us, but she flips through the pages on her own throughout the day. When she is ready, she brings the books of her choice to us, indicating that she is ready for storytime before bed. We are fortunate to have so many great books to choose from. We are also signed up for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, so Jade receives a free book once a month! Join today!
