the benefits of reading aloud to your children!
| Children can listen on a higher language level than they can read. | Reading aloud makes rich and angaging books available to all readers and helps them become better readers. |
| Being exposed to a wide range of stories and books allows children to see themselves as well as other people, cultures, communities, and issues on the books they read. | Modeling encourages children to develop the habits and strategies proficient readers employ. |
| Reading aloud builds vocabulary. | Reading aloud promotes social and emotional growth. |
Reading a fun book out loud is a great way for Mom to model voice intonation to Aiden!
Watch Kai'Ares touch the picture in the book as he hears dad read so expressively! He's learning more than he realizes at such a young age.
Watch the slow, deliberate delivery of words. Young children love to linger over every detail.
Watch how she learns by mimicking what dad says!
The girls learn to track word placement because Mom uses a finger to point out the words. It is a natural way to teach the direction in which we read. We love the interaction!
