Why are preschool books important?
Preschool books are important because they help kids learn new words and how to talk better. They also teach kids about letters and reading, which helps them do well in school later on. When kids read books, they think about what’s happening in the story, which makes their brains work better.
Books also let kids use their imagination and make up stories in their heads. Reading books helps kids understand different feelings and how to be nice to others. So, preschool books are really helpful for kids to learn and grow smarter while having fun.
