The Joys of Reading
Why Read?
Reading might not be every child’s favorite activity, but it can be once they realize just how fun it can be! Numerous benefits come out of reading even the most basic of books, and they can take your child’s imagination on a joy ride. Reading can enhance vocabulary while occupying your child for hours on end as they realize how a good book can transport anyone on an adventure right from the comfort of their own home.
These benefits take the shape of being transported to new times and locations, all with the opening of a cover. Rather than playing video games or watching a movie, reading tickles your imagination as your brain is used to imagining the scenes taking place in your head. With its ability to be interpreted differently by the individual, reading can take anyone on a journey the way they would imagine it happening! And remember, there are no right answers when it comes to how a book is interpreted through your own eyes!
Another joy that comes out of reading is viewing the world in different lights not seen before. Depending on the type of book and its setting, children can gather insights into the ways other people live, picture the setting, and even imagine what the characters are doing, all while gathering information about a new place never discovered before. Even if the setting is a made-up world, it exposes children to new imaginations and locations where they can really let their minds wander and explore!
In addition to utilizing imagination, reading allows children to observe the beauty of the written word. Through language, children can develop increased communicational skills and vocabulary that will significantly benefit them in the future. There are so many different ways in which different authors write to get their story across, and within each book, there are new forms of language to discover. With every book leaving a remarkable and lasting impact on the reader, what about reading is not joyous?
It is never too early or too late to introduce your child to the impact of reading a good book, and at LogiQMinds, we encourage just that! There is no better feeling than finishing a book you have spent hours reading while analyzing the beauty of the message behind it. Reading can take you on new adventures, so why not start one today?
