Reading early to infants helps

Dear Readers,

B4 Literacy encourages reading to infants before birth and beyond. Studies now show that "No matter what language you speak or how much money you make, it’s never too early to start reading to your children, according to a new study."

Researchers have found that children who are read to at an early age improve their language comprehension and cognitive development skills.

Research studies have also shown that children in preschool benefit also when their parents read to them because it helps to develop language skills.
