Reading Enjoyment for All Levels
- Reading is crucial to your child’s success. The skill of reading not only helps with academic success but also provides many benefits. For instance, reading to your younger children can promote healthy bonds between caregiver and child, improve language skills, help develop creativity and give your child the lifelong joy of reading. Research has shown that children who are read to after the age of 5 can have benefits including improved listening, reading and academic skills. As your child reaches middle school, comprehension becomes a major component in gaining the necessary skills of remembering, recalling and analyzing what they read. In high school, reading is important for students to gain a deeper understanding of the curriculum and the application of such knowledge.
