Reading to young children under 4 is incredibly important, and it goes far beyond just the act of reading itself. Here's why: Sparks a love of learning: Reading exposes children to new worlds, ignites their curiosity, and fosters a love for stories and language. #Boostsbraindevelopment: Engaging stories stimulate brain cell connections, enhancing memory, concentration, and imagination. #Buildsvocabulary: Repeated exposure to new words through reading expands their vocabulary and understanding of language. #Strengthenssocialemotional skills: Stories can help children explore emotions, develop empathy, and learn about social interactions. #Createsbonding experience: Snuggling up with a book fosters a special connection between #caregiver and child. Planning a whole day of activity around a book is a fantastic way to extend the learning and fun! Here are some ideas: #MorningRead a book about animals. Afterwards, have the child create animal masks or go on a "nature hunt" for things they saw in the story. Afternoon #Read a book about cooking. Together, prepare a simple snack related to the story (e.g., banana bread if the book featured monkeys). Arts & Crafts: Read a book about colors, shapes, or construction. Then, use crayons, paper, or building blocks to create something inspired by the story. #Movement&Play: Read a book about a specific action or adventure. Encourage the child to act out the story through movement and pretend play. By incorporating reading into daily activities, you're creating a rich and engaging learning environment for young children. #eyfs #earlyeducation #earlychildhoodteachers #nursries #Preschools

Promoting literacy in school-aged children is vital for their overall well-being. Encourage reading habits with strategies like reading together, creating a cozy reading space, utilizing rhymes and games, and involving teachers and librarians for book recommendations. Limit screen time, give choices, and explore series to keep them engaged. Be patient when your child encounters challenges, providing support and making the reading experience enjoyable. https://lnkd.in/ekW6nCMK

Here's an important stat to know: According to the National Literacy Institute almost 70% of fourth grade students in low-income communities cannot read at a basic level. ??

There a variety of ways and methods educators use to motivate, encourage and champion reading in the home, especially during the summer breaks away from the school house. Here are five of my recommendations for families and children. 1. Model being a reader for your children. Children learn from adult models of reading and literacy. 2. Celebrate birthdays, holidays, and special occasions with giving books as gifts. 3. Establish a home library and make use of it daily with allocated time set-aside for silent reading, read-aloud, and book discussions. 4. Schedule time for weekly visits to the library, bookstore, and cultural centers where books are read, discussed, shared, debated, etc. Engaging with “Reading Communities” is a powerful influence on young readers. 5. Encourage your child to build his/her own library. Set aside space for your children to organize and display their favorite books. Building ownership and investment early in books is one way to ensure a child becomes a lifelong reader.

Fostering a love for reading is key as children discover their passion for books! ?? During my time at an elementary school, I captured this visual because a recent study by the National Literacy Trust reveals that children who read for pleasure once a month find it helps them relax (56.6%), feel happy (41%), and learn new things (50.9%). The benefits of reading extend to both children and adults! #ReadToSucceed #BooksForKids #LiteracyMatters #ChildrensLiterature #ReadingRocks #BookLoversUnite #JoyOfReading #LiteracyAdvocate #StoryTimeMagic
