Why do we read aloud to our kids? Especially those who can read to themselves?Â
This is a topic that comes up all the time at Read-Aloud Revival and itâs one Iâm super passionate about. Itâs foundational to what we do around here and I firmly believe itâs vital to our kids becoming lifelong readers.Â
In this episode, weâre talking about the impact reading aloud has on our children, regardless of their independent reading level. Research shows that there are many benefits to reading aloud to your kids, and today, weâre going to focus on five of the most important ones.
In this episode, youâll hear:
- How books educate the heart as well as the mind, growing perspective and empathy
- The incredible impact of reading aloud on academic performance, language development, information processing, expression (the list goes on!)
- How reading aloud builds community, strengthens family bonds, reduces stress and anxiety, and enriches time spent together
