By reading, we gain the opportunity to think critically and expand our knowledge on a variety of topics. Reading also helps stimulate and engage our imagination, allowing us to explore beyond the physical world and discover new possibilities.
Reading teaches us new words and phrases that will help us express ourselves more effectively. Reading can also introduce us to different dialects and unfamiliar words that may broaden our linguistic repertoire and increase our cultural awareness.
Inspired by stories found in literature, children can express their creativity through imaginative play which helps develop their fine motor skills. Books also provide a great starting point for meaningful conversation between children and adults alike, introducing meaningful topics such as race, gender, values, etc.
