Research has shown that early language exposure during childhood significantly influences academic success. While there is some debate over the so-called "30 million word gap" and the best ways to improve educational outcomes for young children, there is a strong consensus among child development experts that reading is a simple and effective way to interact with your child and positively impact their development.

With Pico Library, you always have access to a new story to read to your child, helping to expose them to new vocabulary words and ideas. Reading is the foundation for learning; in the early years of education, children learn to read, and eventually, they read to learn. When your child starts reading independently, Pico Library can guide them through stories using your Personal Voice to read aloud, providing a familiar and comforting presence.

Pico Library not only fosters a love for reading but also supports your child's language development and cognitive growth, making it a helpful tool for every parent.
