• Bonding- Reading aloud helps to create strong parent- child bonds and promotes healthy brain development.
• Strengthens Fluency- improving pronunciation and fluency by allowing the reader to hear their voice and make adjustments as needed
• Improve Working Memory- Working memory significantly impacts how we develop literacy skills, and reading aloud has been shown to improve memory.
