Share the Love and Joy of Reading Aloud
The simple act of reading to children lays the foundation for their educational success.
Why Read Aloud?
Reading aloud is the key to raising children who love and value reading and who grow up to become good readers. Research has proven that this activity has lifelong benefits that include:
- Exposing children to 30 million more words by age 3
- Strengthening the bond between reader and child
- Acquiring a more extensive vocabulary
- Enhancing overall language development
- Building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading
