answer to each of the questions from 1 to 5.
Reading allows us to be transported from our own world to another. Between the
pages of a book, we can become immersed in the lives of fictional characters and learn about
a culture entirely different from our own. We can also learn new words and phrases,
experience a range of emotions, and acquire skills and knowledge. Because of the learning
potential, the effects of reading on child development are vast and multiple studies have
highlighted its benefits. As such, teachers and parents are in a great position to ensure reading
is a key part of children’s daily routine. We’ll give you some more information as to why this
is so important and provide some tips that you can use both in and out of the classroom.
The importance of reading for children cannot be underestimated. Reading for
pleasure can benefit a child’s education, social and cognitive development, their wellbeing,
and their mental health. Numerous pieces of research conducted and commissioned have
discovered the profound benefits of reading for a child’s development. One study details the
effects of reading on later literacy skills, facilitating social interaction between adults and
children, and encouraging children to engage with the world around them. It also states how
reading can be a ‘stable source of information’ throughout a child’s life. This stability allows
them to access text in a constant fashion and can be especially beneficial for children growing
up in challenging circumstances.
If you read with your child at home, then you are supplementing what they learn in
the classroom as well as giving them additional one-on-one support that the classroom cannot
give. To have successful and effective reading sessions, consider the following:
Even during infancy, a child can look at pictures and listen to your voice. Read aloud to your
child and point to the pictures on the page, saying the name of the objects that appear. This
provides your child with two sources of information: an understanding of real-world objects
and an understanding of the importance of language.
Even when your child can read by themselves, you should still read aloud together for
practice. Try your best to read to your child every day and keep it consistent. Incorporate this
into your, and your child’s, daily routine until it becomes as much of a habit as them brushing
their teeth. However, try not to be discouraged if you miss a day – just pick your routine back
up as normal when you have time.
Try to vary the books that you read to your child as much as possible. This will open
their eyes to a range of different worlds, cultures, and characters, and allow their imagination
to be stretched and thrive.
Sometimes we can forget what it’s like to be that age and what we were like. As an
adult we take reading for granted, but it’s easier to be patient with a child when we remember
how much they don’t know yet. For example, how is a child going to know to read from left
to right until you point at the words as you go? How are they to know that each scrawl on the
page represents a word? Take your time and be patient if they don’t understand. After you’ve
finished reading a story to your child, consider trying to keep it going. Age depending, you
could ask them questions about what they’ve just read. For example, “Did you enjoy that
story?”, “Who was your favourite character?” or “Why do you think the prince was happy at
the end?”. However, don’t feel that this is necessary for every single story you read. If your
child enjoys the book, it will develop a love of reading anyway, even without the
conversation.
