Day 14 - I am thankful I have many many books for my children and myself to read.

Ferst Readers is an organization that provides books and literary resources to families. They provide one book a month from birth to 5 years of age. From Ferst Readers: “The key is to start at birth. Immersing a child in a rich literacy environment can be a stronger predictor of literacy and academic achievement than family income. The more words a child hears, the larger the child’s vocabulary, and the larger the child’s vocabulary, the more likely the child will be a proficient reader.” You can find out more at their website: https://ferstreaders.org/about-us/program-overview
