Want to Know The Single Most Important Thing Parents Can Do for Young Children to Foster Future Reading Success?

You know you want your kids to be smart, and you want your kids to like learning, but you are not sure how to achieve this?  Well, luckily for us, there are people out there studying just this sort of thing!  And they have good answers for us.

Scientists have done studies on the brain of little ones, and they have determined that one of the very most important things parents can do for young children to help ensure future academic success is read to them!

They have actually studied brain activity of children being read to, and have learned that it definitely stimulates the part of the brain that is involved in language development and visual imagery.  Children who have parents that regularly read them stories have a more well developed language brain area than children who do not receive this same benefit.

The simple act of story time together can actually make your kid smarter!

Reading to your child will help them learn more vocabulary, understand cadence and rhyming, and help them learn the rules of syntax.  Plus, it will create a better bond between parent and child.  Enjoy those special story moments together.  They are priceless in many ways.  And don't stop once they are able to read alone, studies show that it is still helpful to continue reading to older children as well.

What more could you ask for?  Now, go to the library!  Or, nowadays...Amazon.  Ha!
