Mind: Literacy Tips for Parents and Teachers 3.1

Personally, this is my favorite routine with my sons, reading out loud!

Reading books to our child is beneficial in many ways. And, reading out loud to children of all ages is very important.

It is so helpful in their development as readers and also in their mastery of language. Studies have indicated that children that don't have people reading aloud to them struggle in school, or just don't do as well in school. 

Obviously, reading out loud to children will expand their vocabularies, foster more vivid imaginations, and encourage them learn pronunciation skills. Some sentences or sections of books or even whole books may get skipped over if a child is only reading to himself.

When the text is beyond the child's level of literacy, they are much more likely to choose something else to read. Thus, when children are read aloud to, they are being exposed to literature that they normally would pass over.

To be continued...

Allah s.w.t jua yang Maha Mengetahui segalanya.
