What does the research say about reading to children?

The National Commission on Reading reports that the single most important activity for building the knowledge required for the eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children. Research tells us that successful young readers have:

• had a lot of experience with print and know that words move across the page from left to right.

• heard complex uses of language, both in print and orally.

• learned that there is a relationship between printed words and spoken words.

• had many, many books read to them.

• made connections between stories and their personal experiences.

Research also tells us that:

• High-achieving first graders have been read to more and have seen adults reading more than low-achieving ones.

• Reading with family often leads to higher gains in test scores than getting extra reading instruction in school.

• The amount of conversation children have with adults directly affects how well they develop vocabulary and thinking skills.
