There are numerous benefits to reading aloud to your baby. By reading with your child you are helping to promote listening skills, increase their vocabulary, develop their attention span and memory as well as stimulate their imagination and senses. Parents can learn about finding the right books at the right stage of their little one’s development, and how to make reading an exciting experience.

 

By the time babies reach their first birthday they will have learned all the sounds needed to speak their native language. The more stories you read aloud, the more words your child will be exposed to and the better he or she will be able to talk. Hearing words helps to imprint them on a baby's brain. And kids who are read to during their early years are more likely to learn to read at the right time.

 

Reading to your baby early and often sets the stage for later reading success. According the 1985 American National Commission on Reading, reading aloud to children is “the single most important intervention that parents can make in ensuring their child’s later reading success.”
