“Books give a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything” – Plato.

Someone rightly said a learned child can have a bright future and an impact on society as they grow. Reading books has its own benefit to an individual and introducing books at a very early age is one of the best gifts you can give to your child. There are lots of benefits when it comes to early reading for your child. Here are some of them:

Development of Communication Skills: When children start to read, they are exposed to different words, and every word has a different meaning in a different context. Reading helps the child develop communication skills.
Development of Vocabulary: Reading helps develop vocabulary as children are introduced to new words. This will help them understand the use of the right word in the right context from a very early age.
Brain Development: Reading is like exercise to the mind. Reading at an early age helps kids gain more knowledge. Reading makes children smarter.
