Readers are Leaders and Leaders are Readers
How do children grow up to love the activity of reading? This love begins when children are young and the benefits are priceless! Not only does reading to them at a young age provide you the opportunity to build a relationship with your child, but it also helps to build the skills of speaking and language. The path to knowledge is by reading and giving children this opportunity will benefit them for a lifetime. Below are some additional benefits to reading to/with your child:
If your child sees you reading, he/she will view reading as an important skill.
Preschool children benefit from hearing spoken language to increase their own language skills.
Reading can calm your child, especially when he/she is restless.
Reading can help to build a child’s attention span.
It promotes increased communication between parents and children.
If your child forms a habit of reading, he/she will not feel as though it is something extra to do or view it as a burden.
Reading helps children to do better in all subject areas.
Reading helps children to build their creativity and imagination
Ways to help your child read more:
Choose books that are of great interest to your child. Any reading is better than no reading. Reading magazines, comic books, newspapers, etc. is appropriate.
Allow children to read and re-read books they enjoy.
Allow children to read for pleasure.
Prepare your child for changes in life by reading to them about the situations at hand. For example you might read books about going potty, fighting, going to school, etc.
Take books with you when you are in the vehicle or going to appointments.
Require your children to read something to you every day!
