Benefits of Reading Bedtime Stories to Children
It may not come as a surprise that reading to children greatly benefits their development. But did you know that a child’s reading level in third grade is a key indicator of their future educational success? If they cannot read at a third-grade level, they are four times less likely to graduate. Fortunately, you are a fantastic parent, ready to teach them the joy of reading from a young age, aren’t you?
Bedtime Stories Improve Your Child’s Reading Skills
Just because you are the one reading doesn’t mean your child isn’t learning. “You will be surprised at how much children understand when you read a bedtime story, follow the words, and start to recognize them on the page,” says Kate.
A bedtime story is also a great opportunity for shared reading, for example, taking turns reading a page – or a paragraph, depending on your child’s ability. This will give your child a daily opportunity to practice reading while also benefiting from being read to.
Bedtime Stories Spark the Imagination
Unicorns, wizards, fairies, and monsters… bedtime stories for children open up entirely new worlds for kids, both real and imaginary, and sharing a bedtime story will take them to places they had never dreamed of.
