Reading is a very important activity, especially for young children. Reading exposes them to new words, stories, and ideas. Reading helps children expand their vocabulary and helps get their brain working and flowing. If your child has difficulty reading, being read to can help them. They can begin to comprehend how to read and they are exposed to the print as well as the pronunciation of a word. When choosing books for home, try to stick to the child's interests so that they enjoy reading and being read to.
