Starting Them Young

We really do need to highlight the importance of reading. As parents, we need to prioritise reading in a child’s early years to help them to succeed later in life. As for me, I love reading novels since I was in high school and that makes my English become better each and every day.

Below are some benefits and advantages that highlight the importance of reading with kids:

Exposure to reading exercises the child’s brain

Reading to young children affects their brain activity and may just give them that boost they need to support and promote their early reading skills.

Reading together encourages a thirst for knowledge

Reading to your children leads to questions about the book and the information within. It gives you a chance to speak about what is happening and use this as a learning experience. It may also develop an interest in different cultures or languages. There is nothing better seeing a child who loves to learn.

Reading is important to develop language skills

While you may speak with your children every day, the vocabulary you use is often limited and repetitive. Reading books ensures that your child is exposed to vocabulary on different topics, which means they hear words or phrases which they may not hear otherwise in their day to day lives. The more words they know, the better.
