My Project

Reading to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps kids develop language and listening skills as well as prepares them to understand written words. Reading to a child has been proven to improve cognitive skills and aid in cognitive development.

Reading exposes children to new speech patterns, and vocabulary, and allows them to learn to absorb information on how to form a sentence and use words effectively, helping them to develop better communication skills.

Reading stimulates the part of the brain that allows children to understand the meaning of language and helps build key language, literacy, and social skills.
