Helping Toddlers Learn to Read

“Evidence shows that the difference between those who get bedtime stories and those who don’t—the difference in their life chances—is bigger than the difference between those who get elite private schooling and those that don’t.”

British academic Adam Swift told ABC presenter Joe Gelonesi

Early childhood development studies show that children who have more exposure to language enjoy greater social and educational advantages—and reading is one of the best ways to build and extend vocabulary and language skills.

Toddlers who are read to and experience books as a regular part of their daily routine gain many developmental advantages. These include:

Language skills

Builds knowledge of how sentences work, syntax, grammar and the fundamentals of spoken language.
