Purpose of Book
What the Research Says
Reading aloud to children, particularly in an engaging manner, promotes emergent literacy and language development and supports the relationship between child and parent.
When parents hold positive attitudes towards reading, they are more likely to create opportunities for their children that promote positive attitudes towards literacy and they can help children develop solid language and literacy skills.
When parents share books with children, they also can promote children's understanding of the world, their social skills and their ability to learn coping strategies.
