In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy explores the benefits of reading aloud to children. Drawing from various research studies, she highlights the positive impact of reading on children's vocabulary, reading comprehension, and reading motivation. One study even found that parents reading to their kids as young as one to two and a half years old can predict their future language skills. Additionally, children who are regularly read to from a young age enter kindergarten with exposure to significantly more words than those who are not read to. Tune in to learn more about the importance of reading to kids and how it can shape their development.
