"First of all, reading with your child is a wonderful bonding experience," says Parents Magazine advisor and coauthor of Baby Minds Linda Acredolo, PhD. “Your kid gets to bask in your undivided attention, which makes story time truly magical. Reading every single day also helps your child learn to talk, expand their vocabulary, build their imagination, and get prepped for school.”
Kim Ratcliff from Parents Magazine advises: “If you haven't already made reading a daily habit, start now, since books benefit kids in so many ways.” Parents Magazine offers tips from experts that can get your child hooked on books for life.
As FasTracKids witnesses every year during the Read for the Record event, children can develop a love of reading with help from adult role models.
