Why read 10 minutes every night at home

 

 

10 minutes every night = 3650 minutes per year = 900,000 words listened to per year

          

           

1 minute every night = 365 minutes per year = 89,790 words listened to per year

If you would like your child to become a stronger talker and reader…….simply READ ?

Children learn to love the sound of language before they even notice the existence of printed words on a page. Reading books aloud to children stimulates theirimagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word.

Here are some of the stories we read at the nurseries to develop the children’s language and broaden their vocabulary.

Many of the books have repeated phrases throughout to encourage the children to participate in the story telling.

Whether you read the story, look at the pictures and talk about them or make up your own stories , talking to and spending quality time with your child supports their all rounded development and learning.

Please note that reading the same book over and over again strengthens the children vocabulary development and understanding of the story. The children enjoy knowing what is coming next (which supports their memory skills). This is why we are sharing with you the top stories we read at nursery.
