"If parents understood the huge educational benefit and intense happiness brought about by reading aloud to their children, and if every parent—and every adult caring for a child—read aloud a minimum of three stories a day to the children in their lives, we could probably wipe out illiteracy within one generation."
-Mem Fox author Reading Magic

3 Benefits of Reading Aloud
1. Reading to a child is a positive activity which helps strengthen the bond between a parent and a child.
2. Reading to a child teaches a child that the parent values reading and creates positive reinforcement for the child to enjoy and engage in reading.
3. Reading to a child increases a child’s understanding of the rules and sounds in the English language.
