Cooking With Kids Increases Literacy.

From Literate For Life:

When I taught in the classroom, I always incorporated cooking with kids into our lessons. (As a mom, I do the same.) We made homemade butter. We read Johnny Appleseed and all kinds of apple books. Then, we made homemade applesauce. I found cooking with kids to be one of the easiest ways to motivate them to read. They don’t even realize they are reading when you read a recipe together and prepare something yummy.
