Why You Should Read With Your Kids

As if you didn’t have reason enough, here are five reasons why you should read with your kids.

It’ll get them started young. Reading with your kids, even before they’re ready to read, is a great way to get the kids started early on books. They’ll mimic your actions one way or another, might as well show them how much fun it is to read!

It’ll promote active imaginations. Kids are definitely imaginative creatures to begin with, but any imagination could use a boost from some inspiration. Books are filled with magical worlds of awe and wonder that serve as the perfect fuel for the creative engines in your kids’ minds.

It’ll expose them to a whole range of topics. Books can help expose children to the world and teach them more than perhaps even their parents know.

Reading together helps strengthen bonds. There’s nothing stronger than the bond between a parent and child, but the act of sharing in a world of imagination through reading only helps strengthen that bond.

It’ll get you into the habit of reading too. Between work and home life, odds are you haven’t had much time to read lately. Reading with the kids is not only a great way to get some of your own reading time in, it’s likely to help you prioritize reading in your down time.
