Reading for pleasure is a vital part of a child's development, helping to foster a lifelong love of learning. When children read for fun, they not only improve their literacy skills but also boost their imagination, creativity and empathy. It enhances vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking, all while providing a safe escape and a way to explore different perspectives. Encouraging reading for pleasure from an early age sets the foundation for success both in school and beyond, making it an essential habit for every child.
The Power of Words
Reading for just 20 minutes each day can result in your child reading a staggering 3600 minutes in a school year. That’s a total of 1.8 million words they are being exposed to within the year! Developing and enhancing vocabulary not only improves dialect, but also strengthens writing and understanding of materials in all subjects at school.
