IMPORTANCE OF READING

As a children’s author, I admire the imaginative stories children tell me. Children have their own vision and imagination which may not necessarily follow an authors story. Here are a few points which I would like to share with you about the importance of reading to children.

1. Develops Curiosity

When reading books children develop curiosity. They are intrigued to find out what happens next in the story. They develop the greatest confidence of creating their own story.

2. Social Skills

Children develop the understanding of how, when and why. This results in children becoming confidence in developing social skills.

3. Problem Solving
Problem solving is core to childrens understanding how to tackle a certain problem. It is through reading that children learn to ask questions and what could have been done differently.

4. New Writers

Todays readers are our future writers. Reading books everyday gives children the confidence and opportunities to create their own stories and convert them into play.
