How to Introduce Reading to Early Learners
For kiddos just learning to read, The Berenstain Bears is a wonderful first book series to dive into.

The Berenstain Bear books (such as “Get The Gimmies”) exposes kids to early sight words and short easy-to-read sentences.
There’s always a valuable life lesson taught too.
With that in mind, let’s dive into helpful tips and tricks on how to introduce your child to reading…
