Importance of Reading to Children

By reading to your young child, even while they’re an infant, you are teaching them the importance of literature and to appreciate language. Through listening to you read to them, children’s imaginations are stimulated. They also learn skills such as how to hold a book and that sentences are read left to right. While it’s important, don’t be stressed if you miss a day. Just pick up the reading schedule where you left off.
