With our world becoming more and more online, traditional activities have lost their importance. The transition to digital has in fact taken away much of the organic charm that was previously derived from activities like outdoor playing and book reading. Parents now find their children curled up at home and immersed into e devices for hours together. • It is now a parent’s responsibility to preserve some of the old ways and get their children to go back to traditional and “old school” activities and habits such as reading books. • The benefits of reading physical books are many. Here are a few reasons as to why your child needs to pick it up as a daily habit:
1. Improved vocabulary – We all know how fast children can pick up things and get influenced. Children are inherently curious. So when they read and come across unfamiliar terms they tend to immediately find out what it means and incorporate it to their vocabulary. • 2. Builds confidence – When you get younger kids to read out loud, it helps build self –esteem and confidence. Kids who have been read to by parents generally do the same once they have mastered basic reading. • 3. Boosts creativity and imagination - It is know that children have a vivid imagination. Reading books allows them to create a world of their own and add their own elements and storylines to it. This innovation and imagination makes them open to new ideas and leads to creativity.
4. Improves writing skills – Because reading improves vocabulary and makes kids more familiar with words and sentence formation, they are automatically able to write well. If they can write well, their overall academic performance is sure to increase. • 5. Increased concentration – Kids who read have a longer attention span and higher retention power. Reading also boosts memory and this helps retain more and more information leading to general academic success. • 6. Communication and interactive skills – Reading to your kids is not only a great way to bond with them but it also helps improve their interaction and communication with you. Even kids who no longer need their parents to read to them develop a sense of interactions when they try to make sense of the characters in the story and how each character equates and interacts with the other.
7. Creates awareness and improves knowledge – Reading different genres of books makes kids more aware of a myriad of subjects. It prompts discussions with elders and leads to increased knowledge and awareness. • Getting children to read in their early years helps set up the building blocks for success and it is right to say that we should start them young. The more they read the more they know! • At Learning Curve, we encourage reading by making it fun. Our curriculum includes 15 minutes of reading time where children are taught how to read and take care of books. • We strive to make every experience a learning experience and ensure your child’s overall development.
