The benefits of reading are unimaginable., benefiting from them anyone regardless of their age. Therefore, it is extremely important to start this habit from a very early age., since childhood is when the foundations of personality begin to be forged, among other important aspects. Reading is something that clearly influences the development of human life, both in the intellectual and social spheres, and the best way to instill this habit in the little ones is to search for elements that move their interest culturally.. This incentive is easy to find with the help of the image, since through illustrations and drawings, Children can approach books without fear and away from any sense of complexity..

The role of parents in this task of introducing children to the world of reading, It is completely fundamental. These last, by observing and hearing from a young age what their parents tell them through books, in the form of stories or poems, They tend to be enthusiastic and feel encouraged and inclined to discover for themselves the benefits and pleasures of reading.. Parent involvement and group reading development, It will reinforce aspects such as hearing ability or imagination, in addition to fostering a much richer family union. Banish the idea of ​​a book as a task or obligation, It will also help children learn to approach them as a healthy alternative for fun and entertainment., finally becoming independent readers. The children will thus begin to create their “private library”, learning to choose according to your interests, and to weave their own memories and knowledge derived from this habit.

But we must keep in mind that not all books are suitable for them., and we will have to select content accordingly, taking into account the needs and concerns they have according to their age. A story that is too childish and/or with an unremarkable story or difficult language, can make them completely lose interest for a long time. But, What are the greatest benefits that reading can bring us?? Well without a doubt, one of the fundamentals for child development, is the acquisition of an enriched and varied lexicon, thanks to which children can expand their vocabulary, your general culture, and your educational level. A broad vocabulary will help the child improve his expression, expanding your options when speaking and constructing sentences.

Further, Reading involves the development of other important skills such as promotion of understanding and assimilation of content, promoting understanding and analytical capacity. For it, It is vitally important to learn to “listen to what you read”, since over time it will help said concentration, consolidating to a greater extent. By last, stories are important. And they are, because during childhood the search for references and behavioral models is essential. These story characters, can help them understand the diversity of life, to forge your future personality with touches from here and there, to know themselves (thanks to the search and selection of content), or to relate effectively in their social and family environment.

Facilitate the little ones in these first years of life, original and funny stories, It can be a step towards gaining lifelong readers..
