Many studies have shown that reading to your children can have many priceless benefits and advantages.

For example, a recent study made in Rhode Island Hospital compared two groups of eight months old babies – one group was read to very often from birth, while the other group was not. The study has shown that those children who were read to often, developed their “receptive” vocabularies, indicating the number of words they could understand with an up to40 per cent increase since babyhood, while the non-reading group of babies only increased by 16 per cent.

Indeed, reading to your kids is one of the most effective way of building the neural connections in his growing brain which enhances his early language development and other cognitive functions.
