Why Children Should Read Books: Experts Name the Main Reasons

10.08.2024 09:30

Modern parents pay less and less attention to classical options for teaching and upbringing, as they consider modern methods to be more effective.

However, some activities should definitely not be deleted from a child’s schedule, experts believe.

Why is reading still relevant?

New words appear in the child's vocabulary

Books often contain new words that are unknown to the child. If you explain them or teach the child to work with an explanatory dictionary, you can achieve significant success.

This will be especially noticeable against the background of other children with a meager vocabulary.

Moral Lesson

Children's classics teach only the most worthy things: how to be a good person, a true friend, how to always achieve your goals and remain yourself, how intelligence always helps, how good triumphs over evil.

Social networks and computer games are unlikely to teach a child such correct things.

Literacy

If your children are bad at writing dictations and essays, then books will become excellent teaching material for them. The level of reading and "watchfulness" will increase.
