It’s no secret that reading to your children is important. Reading to preschoolers helps them develop essential literacy skills. Children who are read to on a regular basis learn about the structure of language and how print works.
They also develop a love for books and a desire to read on their own.
Reading aloud also helps them expand their vocabulary and learn new concepts. When you read aloud to kindergarteners, they also benefit in a number of ways. They learn to read with fluency and expression and develop comprehension skills. They become familiar with a variety of genres of literature. Best of all, reading aloud to kids of all ages helps them bond with you and builds their self-esteem.
