I used to read to my boys well into high school - while it didn't happen every night, it happened often enough that they have fond memories of this time spent together sharing a good novel. Why is it important to read aloud to children? It instills a love of reading - you show your child that reading is important, pleasurable and valued. Knowledge gained and shared - while books are pleasurable, they also are informative. Brain development - from birth to age 3 are critical years in the development of language skills.

Why is it important to read aloud to children
It instills a love of reading - you show your child thatreading is important pleasurable and valuedKnowledge gained and shared - while books arepleasurable they also are informativeBrain development - from birth to age 3 are critical years inthe development of language skills Beyond that readingincreases background knowledge vocabulary andcomprehension

I challenge you to set aside daily time for the next 20 days toshare in the love of literature Find a book you can read to orwith your child Take turns reading out loud Stop and talkabout what you are reading - ask questions tell what you thinkand feel as you read stop and notice or wonder
Here are some questions you can ask
1 What do you think might happen in this story2 What word do you think should come next (Every so
often cover a word in a sentence and ask this question)3 What is this characters name (Recalling details from a
story helps you gauge comprehension of your childsreading)
4 What words do you think best describe this character5 Does anything in this book seem familiar to you6 How might this story be different if it was told from
another characters point of view7 Can you make up a different ending to this story
Model thinking aloud about what you naturally do as a readerstate how you are feeling thinking connecting with somethingin the text questions that you have etc
When you read with your child you will instill a love of readingand a commitment to lifelong learning Reading aloud presentsbooks as sources of pleasant and exciting experiences Thebenets to your child is far beyond the development of a closebond it is the single most important activity for buildingunderstanding and skills essential for reading success thatyour child will carry with them throughout their life
