New Homes Builder Supports Read With Your Child Program

Shea Homes builds homes, neighborhoods and communities and nothing is more important to these communities than the future success of today’s children. That’s why Shea Homes supports the Read With Your Child program... because it is helping to build a strong foundation for our entire nation’s future.

With forty million US adults unable to read a simple story to a child, Illiteracy is a nationwide crisis.

Experts have found that reading to your pre-schooler for just 15 minutes a day is the most important thing you can do to prepare your child for a positive future and help him/her succeed in life.

Helping your pre-schooler learn to read at home can be an important first step in solving this national problem. Reading stimulates language development and encourages original thinking. It also fosters a positive self-image for your child and provides them with the resources they will need to succeed in life.

More and more, health experts are discovering that a healthy body and a healthy mind are closely interrelated. Shea Homes is dedicated to the well-being of your family, and believes a simple thing like reading to your child a few minutes a day can make a big, positive difference in his or her quality of life.
