5 Minutes a Day…
I know we are all busy, but did you know that 5 minutes a day of reading to your child has proven to have a huge impact on their life! That’s why at No Borders, we set aside time to read to the students and have students read on their own. There is so much research out there to support the fact that reading to infants as young as 8 months old can impact them for the rest of their lives. I will quickly highlight a few examples that I hope will inspire you to ‘take 5’.
3 Benefits of Reading to your child: (there are many more!)
- A study conducted at Rhode Island Hospital in USA showed that children that were read to stating from 8 months old had an increase in comprehension of words by over 40% vs. those who were not. This increase was seen by the the time they reached kindergarten.
- Dr. John S. Hutton of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, showed that children who had been exposed to reading from young age had increased brain activity and builds stronger brain networks/connection that will help him long term.
- Lastly…it is fun and a great bonding experience for the parent and child!
So, before bed, grab a book, grab your child and lay down and read a great story! I promise you, it will be the best 5 minutes of your day!
Talk to you next week!
