This summer, Goodstart Preschool has partnered with Alterra Play-to-Read that guarantees your child will learn to read in 30 days or less. Alterra Play-to-Read is a reading development center that addresses the playfulness of young students and the assessed needs of those who are at-risk and dramatically increase their reading achievement. The benefits of early reading include fostering a child’s love for learning, which is why it’s never too early to start the habit.
What Are the Benefits of Early Reading?
When my brother and I were growing up, trips to the bookstore were a weekly affair for our family. I remember being really excited for the weekend, because then we could spend hours inside the bookstore browsing for interesting titles to add to our bookshelf at home. It started with picture books and fairy tales, then I transitioned to Archie Comics, Charlie Encyclopedia, Choose Your Own Adventure, R.L. Stine Fear Street and Sweet Valley High.
Reading allowed me to become a detective about to solve the greatest mystery of all time, an explorer in search of hidden treasure, or an adventurer out to slay monsters in the jungle. I was always entertained even during idle times because my imagination ran wild and free. This is just one of the benefits of early reading. Here are five more.
1. Exposure to reading exercises your child’s brain.
Research shows that early reading gives them the boost they need to support their cognitive development.
2. Reading enriches their vocabulary.
The more words they know and recognize, the easier it is for them to broaden their abilities.
3. Reading encourages a thirst for knowledge.
When children read more books, the more curious they are of the world around them. This gives you the opportunity to add to their learning experience.
4. A wide range of books teaches children about different topics.
Providing your child with books about various themes gives them a chance to discover their interests.
5. Reading to them at an early age strengthens your family bond.
Cuddling up with your child at the end of the day and simply enjoying each other’s company while reading can be a great way to wind down and relax.
With so many benefits of early reading why wait until your child is older? Early readers make great leaders. Enroll your child at Goodstart Preschool this Summer (and beyond!) for the Alterra Play-to-Read program and give them a great start to their exciting journey to discovery now.
