Bill Summary
25-007 CONCERNING PROCLAIMING FEBRUARY 14 AS "COLORADO READ TO YOUR CHILD DAY".
AI Summary
This resolution formally declares February 14, 2025, as "Colorado Read to Your Child Day" while highlighting the critical importance of early childhood literacy. The resolution provides extensive background on the significant developmental benefits of reading to children, noting that 90% of brain development occurs by age five and that early reading exposure can dramatically improve vocabulary, comprehension, and overall cognitive skills. By emphasizing research showing that children who are read to from birth develop stronger language skills and are more likely to succeed academically, the resolution aims to promote early literacy initiatives. The Colorado General Assembly is specifically acknowledging the state's commitment to birth-to-age-five literacy development and aligning with National Read to Your Child Day. Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies of the joint resolution be sent to two literacy-focused organizations: Reach Out and Read Colorado and Imagination Library of Colorado, which further demonstrates the state's dedication to supporting early childhood reading and learning.
