It is never too early to start reading to your child. The benefits of reading to your child are many!
- As children grow they use illustrations as context clues to help them follow along with the story.
- They learn that letters make sounds, words are made up of letters and that sentences are made up of words!
- Reading can strengthen a child’s social, emotional and character development.
- Reading can expand a child’s ability to pay attention, focus and creativity.
- Sharing stories helps create a bond between children and their caregiver.
- Storytelling and reading aloud helps strengthen literacy in children with different learning styles or special needs.
- Children who are read to or are involved in reading activities have bigger vocabularies, do better in school and have stronger cognitive development!
