Description

Reading to young children is proven to improve cognitive skills. And help along the process of cognitive development. When you begin to read aloud to your child, it essentially provides them with background knowledge on their young world. Which helps them make sense of what they see, hear, and read.

What Is It About Reading That Is So Important for Children?

It is important to read to children because it lays the groundwork for eventual independent reading. When reading difficulties are found in primary school, they might be difficult to correct. Many reading challenges can be prevented if are introduced early to toddlers and preschoolers.

Early literacy skills are necessary for children before they can read independently. These are some examples:

Recognizing that the marks on a page correspond to the letters and words.

Being familiar with the letters of the alphabet.

These skills can be taught to a toddler without the use of games, flashcards, or any other specific teaching. Reading to children as often as possible is the most effective method of assisting them in learning to read on their own.

Bonding

Reading aloud to your child while bonding is a wonderful way for you and your child to connect. It’s a pleasant way to spend quality time with your family. While also slowing down during an otherwise stressful day.

According to a study conducted in 2008, reading can help to maintain a strong parent-child bond. When children are read to, they feel secure. Aside from that, parents and caregivers who have a favorable attitude about books and reading are more likely to help their children have a positive attitude toward literacy.

Acuity

Hearing a story read aloud requires your child’s understanding. And comprehension requires attentiveness — or listening skills.

Listening is a prerequisite for reading, according to Scholastic.

They say books on tape are an excellent way to supplement the one-on-one reading. These generally include goofy voices, music, and other embellishments.

Creativity

Books and stories open your child’s universe. And there are books on dinosaurs, beetles, and planes. But fantasy components in fiction books encourage kids to think outside the box.

Reading helps children’s imaginations grow even more. PBS experts say creativity is vital for fostering interests, ideas, and emotional health.

Attention span

Unsettled toddlers at storytime are commonplace. In order to comprehend, youngsters need to listen to read.

Their attention span increases and their memory retention improves while they listen.

Starting this with your kids, babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and even older children is beneficial. A vast personal library of books is not required to begin.

Think outside the store — your Kindle Paperwhite Kids has thousands of books.
