The Benefits of Parent-Child Reading Aloud Will Surprise You

"Jim Trellis of the United States also said in The Read Aloud Handbook, "Reading aloud is the cheapest, simplest, and oldest means of teaching."

Indeed, it is something that can be practiced personally by parents, regardless of their family's circumstances or education level, if they have the will to do so. Before the age of three, children are more oriented to family activities than to social interactions. Because of preconceptions, children are impressed by the first things they are exposed to, so if you want to educate your child early, read aloud to them. The earlier you start, the easier it will be to do and the better the results will be.

Benefits of reading aloud to parents and children:

1. Strengthen the child's knowledge of vocabulary

Such as the Japanese Tatsuya Miyanishi's "Good Hungry Snake" is a very good low-childhood reading book, in the book, the little snake found the "round apple "yellow bananas," "triangular rice balls," "purple grapes," "pineapples with thorns," and so on. "and so on. These vocabulary words include both color and shape as well as texture. So many vocabulary words are learned through a small book, and the sharp pictures deepen the child's impression of these things. Indirect and direct experiences complement each other, and he comes away from the story saying, naturally, when he sees an apple: round, red.

2. Beneficial to the development of the child's brain

According to Montessori, the cognitive psychology of infants and young children between the ages of 0 and 3 years old belongs to the "absorptive mind", which instinctively absorbs all the information it hears, sees, touches, and feels. Therefore, if you read aloud to him, you are undoubtedly encouraging him to "absorb". You read aloud selectively and he absorbs unconditionally. In the process of absorption, stimulate the development of his brain, the development of intelligence will also be the result.

3. Help communication between parents and children

Parents and children reading aloud is by no means a must for the child to become a special person, reading should not be so strong utilitarian. Reading should not be so utilitarian as to diminish the pleasure of reading, which should be associated with pleasure and become an interesting part of the child's life. Parent-child reading aloud can stimulate the potential that the child itself has, in the transmission of sound waves and sweet embrace, to bring each other closer and enhance the intimacy between each other.
