Parents hear all the time that it is important to read to children. But why exactly is that?  The benefits of reading together go far beyond learning to read.

Reasons why you should read to kids:

  • brings you closer to your child
  • builds language skills
  • a calming exercise
  • exposes them to new words
  • helps them learn information about the world
  • builds empathy
  • helps them handle challenging feelings
  • reading time is a chance to talk about their emotions and how to cope with them
  • helps to promote sleep
