Reading with your child has many benefits. Some benefits are more obvious than others, and some may be more longterm than others. Overall, the value of reading is infinite and the opportunity to educate our children should be cherished.
Through reading, your child will develop stronger language and communication skills. Even as adults, we are told that to become a better speaker or writer we must read. The same is true for children! To prepare them for proper and positive communication, parents should be prepared to read to or with their children. This consistent exposure to books will also help children develop longterm focusing skills. Reading may also lead your child towards better academic performance. Studies have continuously shown that children who read more are likely to do better in all other subject. After all, knowledge is always available on a readable platform.
Whether it is fact based or linguistic, education is typically centered on books. Reading with your child will also prepare them to understand more abstract concepts and think critically in school and as adults. Teaching your child to love reading and to understand how to read purposefully is important. The habit of reading can be taught by example.
If not for the development of critical thinking or communication skills, reading with your children is always a bonding experiencing. The relationship between you and your child or loved one grows with each book you read. You share stories from outer space and under the sea that are just between you two and your books. Though the exact details of each story may get lost through years, the memory of snuggling up together with good books can never be lost.
