Couldn't agree more on your point about books. It's something we tried to create. My wife was a primary school teacher so it's been something that she's driven.
I'm definitely going to read this research, it looks right up my street. Thanks for the heads up Scott.
This is awesome! I am a huge advocate for having as many books in your home as possible. There's an interesting study that I'll link at the end of this comment that the mere presence of a home library increases children’s academic success, vocabulary development, attention and job attainment. Of course it's still better to also make sure you and you children are reading those books. Here's the study I was referring to: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0049089X18300607
I've seen the impact firsthand! My son is diagnosed with ADHD and his reading level at school was languishing behind other kids in his age group. We created a library, installed some reading habits at home, and created rituals around books - fast forward 6 months and he's 2 years ahead of where he should be!
Tony has done such a great job.
