ONE
This
is one way to share time together at the end of your day and facilitate
communication with each other. Start this while children are young so
that as they grow you can expand the topics of discussion according to
their developmental needs.
TWO
Children
who are read to on a regular basis are more likely to become early
readers. They may even have a better attention span when they enter
school than non-readers.
THREE
Books
give children the opportunity to explore ideas, places, and concepts
that will enhance their understanding or different cultures.
FOUR
Exposure
to various styles of writing teaches children that words have a rhythm
and cadence that combine to express feelings, ideas, and intentions.
Adding voices to characters and your own interpretation of the text
helps your child visualize a story and learn to draw inferences. You
can ask questions as the story progresses such as, "What do you think
will happen next?" and "Why do you think the character did that?"
FIVE
Books
teach children to search for references outside of their own scope of
knowledge. Selecting a non-fiction book where you also learn new and
interesting facts demonstrates how valuable it can be to conduct
research. Children need to observe that even adults enjoy learning and
expanding their repertoire of interests.
