"The Importance of Reading"
Reading aloud builds many important foundational skills, introduces vocabulary, provides a model of fluent, expressive reading, and helps children recognize what reading for pleasure is all about. It allows children to experience reading as a satisfying and meaningful activity. It motivates them to learn to read for themselves and then to keep reading.
Reading books can boost intelligence in multiple ways. Firstly, it improves your vocabulary and broadens your knowledge base by introducing you to new words and concepts. Secondly, reading can help to improve your comprehension skills as it exercises your brain and trains you to think critically.
Even a few minutes of reading together gives both you and your brother a chance to slow down, connect with each other, and share an enjoyable activity. What's more important, is that cozy time together has benefits for kids' cognitive development, especially when they're younger.
