READ ALOUD

Research continues to prove that when it comes to early literacy development, one of the most impactful and effective parenting technique is reading aloud. Children who are read aloud to by parents get a head start in language and literacy skills and go to school better prepared.

“Daily reading aloud is not just a nice thing to do but is as essential to healthy development as good nutrition, good hygiene, and sleep.”
Read Aloud 15 Minutes

“The single most significant factor influencing a child’s early educational success is an introduction to books and being read to at home prior to beginning school.”
National Commission on Reading, 1985

BOOK OWNERSHIP

We love libraries and we think everyone should use them more. But we also know and understand the value and impact of book ownership. Having a variety of age-appropriate books in the home is great, but when a child feels ownership, it promotes and fosters a culture of reading. This connection and relationship with books is the difference maker.

“Children who grow up in homes where books are plentiful go further in school than those who don’t.”
Family scholarly culture and educational success

WHY NOT DIGITAL?

It’s tempting to integrate technology into every part of our lives, including parenting. Unfortunately, kids are spending more time than ever in front of screens and growing research suggests that there are a variety of unintended negative consequences. Researchers suggest that “screen time” should be limited to two hours a day for children ages 3-18. And, for 2-year-olds and younger, none at all. For this reason, we are sticking to good ole traditional paper books.

“Parents who used conventional books were more likely to engage in what education researchers call ‘dialogic reading,’ the sort of back-and-forth discussion of the story and its relation to the child’s life that research has shown are key to a child’s linguistic development.”
Dr. Hirsh-Pasek

BY THE NUMBERS

04_fig1

The first few years of life are critical in your child’s brain development. Make the most of this window. If you wait, it’s too late.

  • Your baby’s brain is making literally trillions of connections during the first few years, the fastest it will ever grow.
  • Children are rapidly learning language. They often quadruple the number of words they know between ages 1-2.
  • Babies learn best through interactions. There is
    no substitute for YOU.

By the age of 4, the top children in the class will have heard 30 million more words than the bottom children. Studies have shown that the number of words a child knows when entering kindergarten is predictive of future learning success. The answer is reading aloud 15 minutes a day.

WHY READ ALOUD?
