Read to your Children

The following extract from the Kingston Community School Library web site offers good advice on how to improve your childs reading ability by simply reading to them for as little as TEN MINUTES per day. Try reading from the newspaper or other everyday item or pick up a book and entertain your child.

There’s a wealth of evidence to support the fact that children who are read aloud to on a regular basis when they are young, are readily able to learn to read, once they start school.
There’s also evidence to show that children who are slow to start reading can benefit from someone reading aloud to them.
When hearing someone read children learn the structures of our language and grammar, and the sound of words. Children also learn to love books, to appreciate them for their content and the stimulation they provide. Reading aloud to your child is a great opportunity to share and bond with your child. At the same time, they’re learning valuable skills and you’re giving them a wonderful base for their education. Remember; just 10 minutes a day – it’s the best investment you can make in your child’s future.And all it costs is a little time!
