One of Roze's primary emphases is reading to children.
She recognizes that reading fosters positive interactions between children and adults. Meaningful time spent with the adults who are important in their lives is imperative for a child to thrive. Reading to a child is excellent meaningful time. Furthermore, it not only offers numerous pre-reading benefits but can also provide children with the information they need to navigate the world around them. Reading to children is something Roze values deeply.
