Start Reading As A Kid

When kids are at that young age, they basically become like a sponge when it comes to learning new things, and by knowing this fact, it's more beneficial to start making kids read more often at the the age that they are in right now. Get him/her a book that they would love to read and let them do the rest. Make their imagination grow bigger and bigger everyday.

Below are some benefits and advantages that highlight the importance of reading.

Reading to kids helps them develop listening skills.

" My kids are quite good at sitting and listening to books for an extended period of time because I read to them regularly.  However, they have learned this skill from doing every day for years. My younger children do not have the skills that the older ones do, but will build it up over time. Listening skills are SO valuable in many areas of life."

Reading gives us new knowledge.

" Books do not have to be educational to teach us something new. Kids learn new words, new experiences, cultures, and new ways to think about things from books. Books can open their minds to things they have never thought about before."

Reading to kids builds a love of reading!

" Kids are going to love reading more when they have positive memories and experiences with it. They will see it as an enjoyable activity, and not a stressful one."
