Hello friends of @steemiteducation, I was thinking during the whole day what topic to discuss in my article today and I decided to touch on a very important topic that we can put into practice at any time and that gives our children a lot of benefits, all the Experts talk about the advantages of reading in childhood, both during the learning stage of reading and when the child is already autonomous and can read only. Reading is an extraordinary activity that helps to promote the child's learning capacity.

The habit of reading must be generated from the first stages. In early childhood we can and should bring books to children. Even many experts talk about the importance of reading books and stories to babies.

Benefits of reading books to children and babies:

Reading aloud contributes to the emotional development of the child and lays the foundations of his ability to communicate. The benefits of reading and reading aloud to the child are multiple:

• Children educated in the habit of reading become adulthood in good readers.

• Psychologists have found that reading stories or books to the child helps them develop and know their emotions.

• More than 50% of intellectual development occurs between birth and four years of age, is therefore an ideal age to lay the foundations of the habit of reading.

• The studies confirm that children educated in the taste for reading in homes where it is customary to read aloud to the youngest children, are more prepared to develop their learning abilities.

• Reading, unlike television, computers and other media, stimulates the child to fill the mind. This develops the capacity for imagination and creativity of the child who has to create images of what he reads or is reading in his head.

• Read the child out loud, boost their concentration and attention, as they have to focus on understanding what they are listening to.

• Telling stories to children makes children more reflective of what their parents or other adults are explaining to them about any situation or behavior.

• The stories will help children overcome their own fears.

• Facilitates that children exercise their memory from an early age.

In conclusion:

When we read a story aloud to our little ones we give free rein to their imagination and curiosity, you have not noticed the face of a child when you are listening to a story? he is acquiring knowledge in a fun and easy way, the fact of sharing reading moments with his elders, makes children feel more loved, because someone is dedicating their time. So from now on and knowing the benefits and the advantages of reading them out loud I hope you put it into practice, both at home and in our classrooms.

Greetings and I hope you in my next post!
