"Before long children begin to understand the look of the print and the way words work in sentences and how the world works-why this happens and that happens-and how it all comes together to mean something. In other words, they learn to read." - Mem Fox
In one of my classes this semester, I read Reading Magic: Why Reading Aloud to Our Children Will Change Their Lives Forever by Mem Fox. This book goes over the positive impacts that reading aloud to your children can have on their literacy skills. Reading aloud can benefit your children in so many ways. I found this to be a very inspiring and beneficial book. I am someone who grew up without an importance placed on books so it is interesting to see how it could impact a child's life.
Reading aloud to you children often can actually help your child learn to read without being taught.When reading a book to a child, they are hearing how language works and understanding the importance of print. However, in order to make a reading aloud experience beneficial for both the parent and the child, you must keep some important things in mind. The point in this experience is to create a positive relationship with books. However, it is also a great time for the parent and child to bond. Two critical things to keep in mind in order to make sure they can have the best experience is to be certain that you are reading with enthusiasm and picking the right book.
In order to create a great bonding experience between the parent and child as well as the family and books, it is important to read with enthusiasm. To be very passionate and enthusiastic about the story helps engage the child and keep them interested in the story. Also, children do not need a whole shelf of books. They can easily get by with one stimulating book that they can read over and over again. You can buy books at local book stores, but you can also rent them at local libraries. One thing to keep in mind is also to possibly become friends with librarians and local bookstore owners. These people have seen many children's books and often know the best sellers. If you pick something that is not interesting, children may feel a negative experience and not want to read.
Reading aloud can be very beneficial because it helps children learn how a story is told. It is highly recommended that we instill the importance in children when they are young and keep this in mind until they are older.
