10 Reasons Why Books Are

Still Important

 

 

Has your toddler just learned the

alphabet? Then this is the perfect time to introduce him/her to the wonderful

world of books. In this time of personal computers and the Internet, many of us

consider books to be things of the past. However, they still play a crucial

role in the overall development of a child during the early years of life.

Those “educational” toys and “pre-school development”

shows on TV may look pretty appealing, but nothing can replace good old books.

Here are 10 reasons why books are still important for a child’s

development:

 

1. The more books children read, the

faster their vocabulary is expanded. Books help them to learn new words and new

ways of using the words that they already know. This accelerates preschool

child development, and also improves their soft skills in the long run.

 

2. Reading books to children at bedtime

is a wonderful bonding experience that nourishes emotional development. Parents

can also help the child relate the incidents in the story to real events in

their lives.

 

3. Encouraging a love of books in

toddlers is a great way to prepare them for the school environment and to adapt

to the concept of daily schoolwork.

 

4. Reading books regularly stimulates

children’s imagination, accelerates their emotional development and

fosters natural curiosity. Children quickly learn to visualize the scenarios

mentioned in the stories by reading the text alone. This type of development

works even better if a parent assists in the process. According to a recent

research conducted by author Jim Trelease, regular reading of books

“creates empathy toward other people, because literature values humanity

and celebrates human spirit and potential, offering insight into different

lifestyles while recognizing universality”.

 

5. As children read different books,

their knowledge on various subjects increases multifold. In addition,

everything that they learn at this age stays in their mind for a long time to

come. This can help them become better students in school.

 

6. Reading books improves a

child’s attention span. Books with colorful pictures work even better

than text-only books.

 

7. Reading

can successfully replace TV as a source of entertainment, especially if the

child is introduced to preschool books as soon as he/she learns the alphabet. Reading helps children

utilize their time in a more constructive manner.

 

8. Children who learn to read at an

early age have a better chance of getting a job later in life. They also

perform much better than those who grew up watching TV and playing games on

computers. In a recent speech, renowned author/illustrator Rosemary Wells

pointed out that, “a young child's growing mind needs active play and

live conversation. Television puts a child into what neurologists call the

passive Alpha state. A child cannot learn from screens because programs are

meant to sell products not to teach”.

 

9. A parent reading to his/her toddler

often becomes a role model in the child’s mind. In this way, the child

learns to be more obedient towards parents.

 

10. Developing the habit of reading

regularly from an early age helps the child to cope better with the rigors of

academic education later on. Allowing your child to watch a few pre-school

shows on TV isn’t a bad thing to do. However, reading books is a very

important activity that no child should be deprived of during the early years

of his/her life. Read a book to your child today. It will go a long way in

forging a lifelong bond between you and your toddler.

 

“The most

important thing that parents can do is talk and read to their children. During

the toddler and preschool years, it is critical to provide children with

different language and reading experiences.” (G. Reid Lyon, Ph.D., Chief

of the Child Development and Behavior Branch within the National Institute of

Child Healthy and Human Development)
