Fall Scholastic Book Fair

Be the reason your child loves to read

Fall into a book and support the Summit Area YMCA! From October 24 through October 28, the Berkeley Heights YMCA will be hosting a Fall Scholastic Book Fair that will feature a variety of titles suitable for children ranging in age from preschool through middle school.

The importance of reading skills to a child's success in school, work, and life is undeniable. And reading to your child from a very young age is one of the best ways to ensure their success. Reading is essential to a developing mind, it promotes many things, such as:

• Creativity
• Cognitive development

• Academic preparation 
• Focus
• Discipline 
• Instilling a lifelong love of reading

Tips for encouraging children to read:

- Provide special incentives for completing a book or even a chapter.

- Designate a special time during the day for a family reading time where everyone reads together.
