Benefits of Reading Aloud to Your Child
Educators have long said reading makes people smarter, and there’s research backing them up. A recent study conducted by the American Academy of Pediatrics found reading to children of any age wakens a number of regions in the left part of the brain. The areas in the brain that become active involve understanding the meaning of words and concepts tied to memory. https://www.aappublications.org/content/early/2015/04/25/aapnews.20150425-4
