Read the Kids and Family Reading Report conducted by YANKELOVICH AND SCHOLASTIC:

"Yankelovich, a leader in consumer research and trends, and Scholastic, the global children’s publishing, education and media company, unveil for the first time, the results of The Kids and Family Reading Report™. While studies have investigated how kids spend their time outside of school, this is the first to reveal some surprising insights about why kids and their parents do or don’t read. This is a national survey of kids 5-17 years old and one parent or primary guardian."

The National Commission on Reading wrote in 1984 that "The single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children."

Research tells us that all good young readers share the following characteristics:

They have had a lot of experience with print;
They have heard complex uses of language, both in print and orally;
They have learned that there is a general relationship between printed words and spoken sounds;
They have had many, many books read to them.

Research also tells us that parents, preschool educators, reading tutors and others who work effectively with young children have demonstrated the following things:

That text moves across the page from left to right;
That pictures are connected with print, by pointing to both and talking about them;
That thinking and talking about connections between stories and the readers' personal experiences are important parts of reading;
That it's helpful to summarize the plot from time to time, and to ask questions about what has happened in the story, or about what may happen.

Research also tells us that:

High-achieving first-graders have been read to more and have seen adults, themselves, reading more than low-achieving ones;
Studies of fourth-, eighth- and twelfth-graders show that those who read for pleasure on their own score between one-fifth and one-fourth higher on reading proficiency tests than those who do not do so;
Reading with family often leads to higher gains in test scores than getting extra formal reading instruction in school does;
The amount of conversation children have with adults directly affects how well they develop thinking skills.
