In toddlers and older children, reading serves as an aid for vocabulary and pronunciation. Having a set reading time also prepares smaller children for school. Once they are in the classroom, they'll be prepared and attentive when the teacher has storytime. For elementary school kids, it also builds skills for grammar and sentence structure.
Children whose parents read to them are better readers and perform better in school, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. When you compare the benefits of reading to those of playing video games, there's no comparison. Teaching your child to love reading at an early age will serve them well throughout their school years. You want your child to have positive feelings about reading. It's also a great way to help your child wind down after a long day. So what are you waiting for? Crack a book tonight.
