As promised in our previous blog, we are sharing the benefits of reading for children here in this one.  It is a well-known fact that 90 per cent of the human brain develops by the age of 5 years. And how we, as a parent, utilise this period goes a long way into determining and affecting the development of our child’s brain.

 There are a number of things that contribute a big positive way towards brain development of our child and reading comes at the top of it. Here, one thing should be noted that it doesn’t matter whether the children read by themself or you read for them the effect remain the same. 

1) Promotes new neuronal connections 

Neurons are the basic building blocks of the human brain. The greater number of neurons and the connections among them the healthier, well-functioning, and well-developed the brain is.

Reading regularly stimulates the brain development of the highest order resulting in strong pathways among neurons which in turn build language, literacy, and social-emotional skills having life-long benefits. Know More :- Top 10 Preschool In India

Reading frequently stimulates physical activity in the brain activating the sections that process words and form meaning.

A study that involved MRI images of children’s brain showed an increase in organised white matter that is involved in developing language and ability to learn and that is why experts recommend parents to start reading to their children from their infancy itself.

Hearing the story in an animated manner and seeing the colourful picture in the story book captures their imagination and stimulates them to create an entire world out of their creative imagination and explore it in their own way.

Studies have shown that the children who are reading or being read aloud to develop higher activity in the area of the brain responsible for cultivating mental images and deciphering and comprehending verbal cues resulting in a stronger imagination as well as the fondness of reading.
