Why You Should Read To Your Child
Is your child always saying their bored? Do they hate reading? Have you ever read to them? Well, I’m here to answer those questions and more.
Hello, my name is Tatum Hay and today I will be talking to you about why you should read to your child.
#1: You learn from books:
Do you want to learn about dogs? Read about them. When you read about facts your brain organizes and memorizes what you’re learning more effectively. Does your dog have an itch and you don’t know anything about it try the book, Itchy Dogs – A Natural Health Guide for Dogs with Skin Problems by: Julie Massoni.
If I wanted to learn about the Great Depression, I would read, The Bumpy Road: Farm Life in the Great Depression by Quentin Veit. Books can be long, short, or filled with pictures.
You could learn about all of Gods creations in books. Let’s make up a girl named Amy. Amy’s dog is constantly licking his paw. She bought the book Why Does My Dog Act Like That?:A Complete Guide To Your Dog’s Personality. By: Stanley Coren.Amy was so grateful for the book because she now knew how to help him. See? If there would have been no books for her to read her dog would still be licking his paw.
#2: Reading creates an imagination
Has your child ever said ‘I’m bored’ ? Well, if they read about a dragon they can pretend to be a dragon. Let’s make up a girl named Sarah. Sarah is constantly telling her mom that she is bored. Her mom, Megan, goes out and buys her some books. At first Sarah says no to reading, but soon reads a book about a princess.
A week later Megan looks out the window and sees her daughter, Sarah, playing in a princess dress. And you see if Megan hadn’t bought Sarah the books, she would still be saying that she is bored.
#3: They will learn to love reading.
Did you know readers are leaders? Benjamin P. Thomas said, “This is a phrase that is shared throughout various classrooms in schools. I must say I have found this to be true with any levels of leaders.” What he means is if you’re a kindergartner and reading, The Cat in the Hat, by: Dr. Seuss, you can be a leader just as well as a teenager reading, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
Let’s create a girl named Angie, whose mother read to her every night since she was born. Well, when Angie turned twelve she became a leader of reading. She would go to the bookstore every weekend, in between classes at school she would read, and for her birthday all she wanted was books. And you see if her mother hadn’t read to her she wouldn’t have loved to read.
As you heard Amy, Sarah, and Angie all got moved and impacted from books. Amy learned about her dog licking his paw from reading. Sarah’s imagination got woken up by reading. And Angie was a leader by reading.
Thank you.
She presented to Daddy an me: Here’s her PP
