I definitely agree the comments the teachers made about reading aloud to children. I believe it is very important to read to children often and many different types of books. I always read many books to my children when they were little and I can see the difference that it made. Both my kids are excellent readers and they love to read. I always got them books for their birthdays and for Christmas and I still do. My daughter is always reading books and my son is good at spelling and reading. He was reading at 11th grade level when he was in the fourth grade and I believe the fact that I always read to them had something to do with this.
So there is definitely a benefit of reading aloud to children. You can get them hooked on books for a lifetime plus it helps with their language and vocabulary. So I plan on doing a lot of reading to my students because like Oralia Garza de Cortes said not every child may have had an opportunity to have a parent read aloud to them. This makes it even more crucial to have a teacher read aloud to them because there are so many benefits to being read to.
