Science Behind The Practice! Research demonstrates that when parents read out loud to their children, they significantly increase their children’s vocabulary, cognitive skills, memory, curiosity and motivation. One of the goals of the LIFE program is to help families establish a read-aloud routine in order to maximize these benefits. #beingallwecanbe
