Why Should Parents Encourage Children To Read?
setTopicVideo(); –> Many parents recognize the value and enjoyment of reading to their young children but perhaps are not clear about how they can help their children become better readers. Because reading is so important to children’s success in school, parents can and should help their children become interested in reading and encourage growth in their reading skills. “Learning to read is a lengthy and difficult process for many children, and success in learning to read is based in large part on developing language and literacy-related skills very early in life” (Lyon, 1997). Young children develop a more positive attitude toward reading if they experience warm and close contact with their parents while reading.
