Smarter Spaces Series - 4 to 7 year olds

Books are an even bigger deal at this age as reading is all about using language to open up a world that's not immediately present.  

So, it's important to have some age appropriate books around.  If you don't have a stock, get a library card and go exploring together!

Create a cozy reading nook - basically a comfy chair or a beanbag in close proximity to a bookshelf.  As your child becomes increasingly interested in chapter books, or basically just enjoys reading on her own, place a reading lamp on her nightstand.

My daughter is 4.  When it's my turn to tuck her in, I snuggle up in bed with her, the only time she likes to snuggle, and read to her with the lamp.  I envision her future of reading late into the night.
