Reading is an essential part of a child’s development, but a parent doesn’t need to wait until the child can read to introduce them to books. Reading to a child from the time they are a baby helps them to know the meaning of words, adds to their understanding of the world, and opens up their imaginations. Sharing stories can be a lot of fun for families, leaving both adults and children with special memories that last forever.
The most effective way of making books a part of your child’s life is to read aloud to them every day when they are very young. A young person’s language skills and literacy are enhanced by their exposure to stories. It fills them with curiosity and will encourage them to start speaking as they imitate the words.
Routine is, of course, a tried and true method of reading books to your children. Every toddler looks forward to hearing a story when they’re tucked up in bed for the night, and few things relax a child for sleep as much as following the adventures of their favourite characters.
