Why Reading Aloud Matters
Reading aloud is one of the simplest, most powerful things you can do for your child. It grows vocabulary, attention and imagination — and builds a warm daily ritual of connection.
Make It Joyful
- Use silly voices and let your child turn the pages
- Pause to ask 'What do you think happens next?'
- Re-read favourites — repetition builds language
- Follow their interests when choosing books
Final Thoughts
There's no 'right' way to read together. A few cosy minutes a day plants seeds that grow for a lifetime.
