Developing and nurturing the skill of reading books has a lasting effect on children - one that could continue for their entire lifetime.
While a child is reading, several things are happening. They recognize new and old words (vocabulary building), improve their skills of comprehension, improve fluency and they feel motivated to read more. Many children also develop a lifelong love for books if they are exposed to the right kinds of books at an early age.
Specific benefits:
- by also reading aloud to young children, it is possible to improve cognitive skills, curiosity and memory. It also motivates them to read more;
- improves concentration;
- language exposure gives rise to early language skills which in turn improves school readiness in young children;
- improves a child’s vocabulary and leads to more highly- developed language skills;
- develops a child’s imagination;
- helps children develop empathy;
- teaches children about the world around them.
