Why Read to Children?* When children are read to every day, they develop
many skills. Scientists are finding that children who are exposed to many words at an early age have a greater chance of success in school and scoring higher on intelligence tests.
* Books allow children to imagine and be creative
while gaining knowledge of science, math, history, and health. By reading stories to children, they can relate to story characters who face "real life" situations similar to ones they are facing.
* Books also introduce print as a form of communication, but most importantly, reading to children helps them develop a love for books, which is the best reason to learn.
