The Importance and Joy of Read-Alouds<\/h2>\n

How Parents and Caregivers Can Support Literacy For Their Child<\/h4>\n

Learning isn\u2019t something that just happens in the classroom. Learning is a process that begins in the home and continues throughout a child\u2019s school years and beyond. Reading and literacy are the foundation of learning. Parents and caregivers can play an important role in supporting their children in the learning and reading process and reap all the benefits of quality family time together!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n

The benefits of reading aloud to your child<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

Help promote\r\nlanguage for\r\nyour child<\/h3>\n

By reading aloud to your child, you are helping them develop important language skills. You are exposing them to vocabulary and building their knowledge so they are better prepared for reading in school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Help your child to see themselves in stories<\/h3>\n

Through reading, your child can explore feelings that help them put words to things they may be thinking. Reading also helps students imagine new adventures. Books can influence children and motivate them to pursue future opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Create connections\r\nand shared\r\nexperiences<\/h3>\n

Reading together can be quality time, providing opportunities for families to share their thoughts and feelings on characters, stories, authors and illustrators. It also reinforces learning and facilitates engagement and satisfaction in the reading experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
