Learning occurs in the classroom, but can also be enhanced while at home. In this blog, we\u2019re going to explore some books your child can read outside of the classroom to help enhance their fundamentals of reading and reading comprehension. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Where the Wild Things Are<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This classic book is a great start to enhancing your child\u2019s reading skills and love for literature. The story touches on creative thinking and learning to understand and accept people for their differences. This is not only great for reading skills, but also emotional development. Your kid will love the story you cherished as a child!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Color of Us<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Color of Us<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an important book to teach your child about accepting people for who they are, regardless of what they look like, and embracing who you are despite the color of your skin.. This is an introduction into an important life lesson that your child will continually reshape and utilize throughout their lives. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Giving Tree<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A classic you may recall reading as a child, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Giving Tree <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a great introduction into philosophical interpretations of stories.
