It's World Book Day! 📚📖💙 Reading is SO beneficial for our mental health and children's development! Let's dig a little deeper and see some of the benefits and why it's so good for us and the kids around us....💭

4 Benefits of Reading from Birth and Up:

1. It’s Fun!
Regular reading time together helps children develop a love for reading and stretches their imagination! Explore a silly story that creates belly laughs, dive into a mystery and solve a crime or simply talk through a beautiful picture book and see what your child can discover. Reading together unleashes a magical world where your child’s imagination can run free.

2. Bonding Time
Reading to your infant is a special moment you can share together each day. Whether it’s with one child or all of your children, cuddling up and reading together is a soothing and relaxing time to spend as a family. Make wonderful memories together as you explore new worlds through books.

3. Develops a Variety of Skills
When you read, your voice changes tone, rhythm and emotion – all things your child picks up on. Reading to your child and talking about what’s happening in the story exercises skills such as talking, listening, answering questions, comprehension, story relationships, friendships and problem solving.

4. Builds Vocabulary
Young children who are read to daily hear, on average, thousands of more words than children who are not read to daily. This exposure to such a wide variety of words helps children increase their vocabulary and recognition of sounds and patterns. When you read stories to your young child, their vocabulary is being built as they connect what you are saying to the pictures in the book.

“While it may not seem like your baby is listening or understanding what you’re saying, there is a substantial difference between children who were read to as infants and children who were not. Infants who were read to grow up to do better in preschool, recognize letters earlier and have an ingrained love of reading,” says Dacia Bryan, OCM Educational Outreach Coordinator.
