🤔What to read?🤔

✨Dr. Phillips notes that while being read to is beneficial for kids of all ages, the benefits are somewhat different depending on the child’sdevelopmental stage.

✨“When you have a newborn, read whatever it is that you want to read, even if that’s the New York Times,” she says. “It’s just about having them hear words and sentences and language.”

✨As kids get older, content starts to matter more. “Reading books with relatable themes can lead to meaningful conversations about what’s happening in their lives,” Dr. Phillips notes. “The book can be a bridge to discussing something that a child might be experiencing themselves, and give you a way to broach a topic without saying, for example, ‘Are you being bullied at school?’”

✨Of course, reading whatever your child enjoys is just about always a good idea. When kids get the chance to follow their own interests, they internalize that reading is fun and rewarding, and they’re more likely to pursue reading on their own.

✨This applies even for young kids who want to read the same book on repeat. “It’s very common for toddlers and preschoolers to want to read the same book over and over again,” Dr. Phillips notes. “And that repetition is actually part of how they master language.”

✨And there’s no reason to stop reading to kids once they’re able to read themselves. Kids often enjoy hearing books a bit above their ability level, for example hearing chapter books when they’re still reading picture books on their own. Reading together through elementary school supports their developing literacy and gives you both a chance to stay connected as they grow more independent.

❓Why should we start reading from a young age? ❓

Parents hear all the time that it’s important to read to kids. But why exactly is that? The benefits of reading together go far beyond learning to read.

▪️Reading to young children is an important way to help them build language skills. It exposes them to new words and ways of using language. It also helps them learn general information about the world, which makes it easier for them to learn about new subjects once they get to school.

▪️Books also help children build empathy and learn how to handle challenging feelings. Parents can use reading time as a chance to talk about emotions and how to cope with them. For example, you might say: “Have you ever felt as angry as the girl in this book? What would you do if you did?”

▪️Even a few minutes of reading together gives you and your child a chance to slow down and connect with each other. And the sensory experience of sitting with you and hearing your voice also engages their brain in a way that makes learning easier.

▪️There’s no one right way to read to your child. You can read to them in any language, or multiple languages. You can do it at the same time every day or change up the routine. Your child doesn’t even need to be sitting with you — just sitting nearby with a book while they play can be a way to connect.

▪️The important thing is for your child to hear words and language and to have books be part of their daily life. Any steps you’re able to take can make a big difference.

Importance of Reading: When Preparing for Universal Competitive Exams

- The Reading Comprehension (RC) section in GMAT includes 350-word passages which can be easily mastered by practising active reading and by interacting with the text. Some examples can be reading The Economist, The New York Times, Scientific American, The Washington Post, and Businessweek for acing the RC section.

- Reading allows one to develop a better understanding of the subject and gain conceptual clarity when preparing for CAT and especially Reading Comprehension.

- A common success thread in all the students who secure well on the verbal section of the GRE is skilled reading ability. The faster you can scan through the passage while still holding on to the information, the more time you’ll have to answer the question.

- The perfect strategy to cover a long passage in the allotted time in IELTS is through increasing your vocabulary by continuous reading.

- To get a high score on the reading section of the TOEFL test, the only key is to read and understand various books and articles.
