Reading is essential:
It is a basic building block for learning, regardless of the subject. It is a life skill and is needed to access so much of our daily life- reading a street sign, reading a prescription, following a recipe or cooking instructions.
Reading strengthens the brain:
Reading strengthens brain connections and builds new ones.
Reading improves concentration:
To be able to engage in reading, you need to focus.
When done regularly it helps children develop the ability to sit quietly and still for longer periods of time.
Across the whole school, pupils read every day: to an adult, to a reading partner, as part of a group or to themselves.
Reading improves vocabulary and language skills:
The more a child reads, the more new words they learn.
As they absorb these new words, they begin to use the context of the sentence or the material being read to define the word.
Children also learn about syntax or sentence structure through reading. This helps them with their writing.
We can always tell the children who read, by the use of vocabulary and maturity of their writing.
Reading teaches children about the world around them and beyond…
Through reading children build a growing store of knowledge that helps them learn about different people, places, events and cultures outside their own experiences.
Reading fosters confidence and independence:
Regular reading improves literacy skills. Being a competent reader means a child becomes more self-sufficient to access the world and makes them more confident.
Reading is fun!
There are so many different forms of writing- there is definitely a book, story or set of facts that will appeal to everyone.
A good book can be so enjoyable- you can be gripped and desperate to keep reading or keen to share something your have read with a friend!
Reading reduces stress:
Reading gives an escape into another world.
It offers a very valuable escape from the world of screens. It can be done anytime, any place, anywhere and can be done at a child’s own pace.
