Why Reading and Learning Go Hand in Hand
Reading isn’t just about turning pages it’s about opening doors.
- Confidence & Communication: As children read and explore stories, they build vocabulary, boost comprehension, and grow more confident sharing ideas.
- Curiosity & Discovery: Each book becomes a stepping-stone to new topics, new questions, and new “I wonder…” moments.
- Empathy & Understanding: Entering Jesta’s world helps children understand emotions, relationships and how they fit into the bigger story of life.
- Lifelong Habit: Building a reading habit early sets the stage for a lifetime of learning, creativity and joy.
