Benefits of Reading
Benefits of Reading
• Development of cognitive abilities: understanding of cause and effect, memory, attention, concentration, reasoning, location in time and space, imagination and creativity.
• Language development: increase of the linguistic capacity, vocabulary, enrichment of abilities in the use of the language, forms of communication.
• Psychomotor development: control of thick muscles, control of activity level, fine motor development (turning pages is a great exercise) and eye movement (follow the line with the look from left to right).
• Affective development: opportunity to develop empathy (put yourself in the other's place), discover words that can express our feelings and emotions, live experiences and emotions through the life of the characters.
• Moral development: every good book contains a message that teaches us about good and evil, right and wrong, what adds up and what remains of human dignity.
To be a reader it is necessary to know how to read but knowing how to read does not mean being a reader. How do we form a reader? What can we do as parents or teachers to stimulate our children and give them the magnificent gift of being readers?
Like any habit, reading is acquired through repetition and better still if it is encouraged by imitation and followed by positive reinforcement. If we dedicate so much effort to promote a sports or extracurricular activity in our children doing transportation, buying equipment, paying teachers, spending time, how not to propose to encourage the reading habit that will bring many more benefits.
