Importance of Reading With Kids: 10 Great

Benefits
The importance of reading cannot be emphasised enough in young children,
and we as parents need to make every day reading a high priority.
Many studies show that toddlers and pre-schoolers who are read to every day have a
larger vocabulary than those who aren’t read to at all. It turns out that reading there
are many advantages and benefits of reading.

The Importance of Reading

Below are some benefits and advantages that highlight the importance of reading
with kids.
1. Reading to young children sets them up to succeed

The more you read to your children, the more knowledge they absorb, and knowledge
is important in all aspects of life. There have many studies that show reading to
babies and toddles gives them a head start and helps to prepare them for school later
down the line. After all, reading with your children gives them the skills needed for
when they start to read themselves.
It is important that children learn to follow words across the page from left to right,
and turn pages which are pre-reading skills that benefit children and help them to
become better readers later on. Children who enjoy reading not only do better in
language and literacy subjects, but in all of the different subjects as well.
2. Reading is important to develop language skills

While you may speak with your children every day, the vocabulary you use is often
limited and repetitive. Reading books ensures that your child is exposed to
vocabulary on different topics, which means they hear words or phrases which they
may not hear otherwise in their day to day lives.
The more words they know, the better. For children who speak more than one
language, reading is an easy way to help their language skills and is important to
develop their fluency. These skills alone show the importance of reading.
3. Exposure to reading exercises your child’s brain

Reading to young children affects their brain activity and may just give them that
boost they need to support and promote their early reading skills.

These areas are critical for a child’s language

Ok development.
4. Reading enhances a child’s concentration

While you may think it is useless reading to a toddler who wants to constantly turn
pages, swap books, or throw them around altogether, reading with your little one is
extremely important at this age.
By consistently reading to your child every day, your child will learn to concentrate
and sit still for longer periods of time, which can help later on when they go to school.
5. Reading together encourages a thirst for knowledge

Reading to your children leads to questions about the book and the information
within. It gives you a chance to speak about what is happening and use this as a
learning experience. It may also develop an interest in different cultures or languages.
There is nothing better seeing a child who loves to learn.

6. A range of books teachesOkchildren about different
topics
Don’t underestimate the importance of reading diverse books. Providing your child
with different types of books on different topics, or even in different languages for
bilingual kids, gives them a wide range of information for them to learn.
There are informative books on topics such as different animals, places or objects
etc, and there are also different books to help teach children about important life skills
such as sharing, being kind, and diversity. There are also some amazing personalized
books which make great gifts!
If you can’t afford, or don’t have access to many books, here are some FREE online
books for kids.

7. Reading develops a child’s imagination and creativity

One of the great benefits of reading with children is watching their growing
imagination. When we really engage in a book we imagine what the characters are
doing. We imagine the setting as reality.
Seeing the excitement on a child’s eyes when they know what is going to be on the
next page, or having them guess what is going to happen is one of the most amazing
things to experience.
8. Reading books with children helps to develop empathy

The importance of reading can also be shown when children develop empathy. When
a child can put himself into the story this can happen. They identify with characters,
and they feel what they are feeling. Children begin to understand and relate to
emotions.
9. Books are a form of entertainment

However, reading a good book that your child
Ok is interested in can be just as
entertaining.
With all of the negative affects of screen time, choosing a book that interests your
child, and either reading it together, or letting them flick through pages alone, is
definitely a better option.
One of the main benefits that highlights the importance of reading with babies and
toddlers, is that they are more likely to choose a book to read for pleasure over
another activity when they are bored.
10. Reading together helps to create a bond

There’s nothing better than cuddling up to your little one and reading a book or a
bedtime story together. Spending time with one another, reading, and talking, can
bring parents closer to your children.
For parents who work, or have a busy lifestyle, relaxing with your child and simply
enjoying each other’s company while reading can be a great way for you both to wind
down, relax, and bond.

The Importance of Reading with Young Kids

We really do need to highlight the importance of reading. As parents, we need to
prioritise reading in a child’s early years to help them to succeed later in life. After all,
as Dr Seuss would say “The more that you read, the more you will know, the more
that you know, the more places you will go”

I like this blog. It definitely is good read for teachers as well as for parents who
can encourage their children to read and write. I am proud of my grandniece
who is seven years old and has already published one book…’Sleepy and the

An excellent article. The sooner children are exposed to reading, the better.
Duncan Lance
Reading to your children while they are young is essential to their development
and I like that the article agrees. I particularly like that you bring up how it can
help with their imagination and creativity. After all, if they can learn what other
people imagine through reading books then they’ll understand how to further
develop their own.

I think this is a fabulous blog. Reading is one of the best exercises for growing
kids. They get a lot of exposure to knowledge and they do not always need
assistance to gain what they should. Reading out to kids is thus a good start
for a child. Thank you for sharing this beautiful post. http://www.jmlschool.org/

There could not be a better blog to describe the importance of reading.

However, today more and more kids are switching to mobile games and other
forms of entertainment and few take real interest in reading. Parents are also
to blame for this. I hope all such parents read this blog and decide to change
their ways.

Shucks, I’d already read it by seven; well, technically, had it read to me. My
great-aunt was of the opinion that it didn’t matter what you read to kids, just
so you did read aloud to them, and she had always wanted to read “War
and Peace,” so she read it aloud to me as an infant. Seriously.
