Why should I read with my child?

Between the ages of three and five, a child's brain grows tremendously, almost reaching its adult size. Children's experiences create connections within their brains that will affect the way they will think, feel and learn for the rest of their lives.

Some children like to pretend to read and write. You may find your three-year-old reciting a familiar story while turning the pages of a book. Or the child might proudly point to some scribbles on a piece of paper and exclaim, "Look! I wrote my name!" Pretending to read and write helps children get ready to read and write.

With all this learning going on, these are great years to read and talk about lots of books with children. People who study how children learn have found that the best way for adults to help is by reading a lot to preschool children, and by having lots of conversations with them.

Books can help young children in many ways. Children are learning about feelings. They're learning how to get along with others. They're finding out what they're good at. They're trying on feelings and experiences every day, like putting on new clothes to see how they fit. Reading and talking about good books can help children with all this.
