Reading bedtime stories to your kids at night creates wonderful memories that last a lifetime. It also encourages proper child development, which offers numerous benefits for their preschool experience and beyond.

Why Should I Read to My Child Every Night?

1. Introduces Kids to the Larger World

Books are a gateway to new experiences. For young kids, books describing everyday activities, like attending preschool, visiting a zoo, or going to the dentist will get them ready for the same actions in their life. This decreases stress about new experiences and ensures your child has the confidence to face tasks for the first time.

2. Strengthens Your Bond

preschoolFor parents with hectic lifestyles, reading is a time to relax and reconnect with their kids after a long day. Ask your children questions about the characters and plot to get an insight into how they view and understand the world. It also offers a valuable bonding experience as your comforting voice will be the last sound your child remembers before drifting off to sleep.

3. Prepares Them to Read Independently

The best way to foster a love of reading is to get your child accustomed to books as soon as possible. Allow your children to become accustomed to books by letting them turn the pages, follow along with the words, and describe the pictures. Equipped with the ability to read independently, your child will be prepared for preschool and the academic lessons that stem from reading.
