Reading is an important skill that needs to be developed in children, so introducing books from a very early age is a fantastic way to encourage this.

Not only is reading necessary for survival in the world of school and later universities, but it is an essential part of everyday life as well.

The more young children are read to, the greater their interest in mastering reading.

Reading out loud exposes children to proper grammar and phrasing. It enhances the development of their spoken language skills and their ability to express themselves verbally. It also encourages imagiation and thought proccess skills.

There’s never too young an age to start – you can read to a young baby to settle them, or as part of the bedtime routine.
