“Children learn to love the sound of language before they even notice the existence of printed words on a page. Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word. When the rhythm and melody of language become a part of a child's life, learning to read will be as natural as learning to walk and talk.”
Reading to younger kids is also a way of “Paying it Forward.” When we were younger, older kids read to us. It made us feel important, that someone would take time out of their time to teach us to read was a big deal. Reading just one book can impact a kids live more than you know. I think we need to educate our youth more, and reading is the start.
