The joy and benefits of reading
Did you know that reading daily to infants stimulates early brain development? And as kids get older reading helps them build vocabulary, gives them stronger language skills and a much higher likelihood of doing well in school and graduating. Here are five ways to bring the joy and benefits of reading to your kids.
Choose Books for your Kid’s Interests
If your kids are fascinated with dinosaurs or ponies, let them pick books about these subjects, they’ll be much more likely to want to read about their favorite things. You can even go further by finding connections to similar topics. For example if you child loves cars, then don’t stop at fictional stories about cars, think about choosing books about car racing, car designs or racecar drivers.
