This Is Why Your Small Child Should Be Able To Read At An Early Age? [Must Read]
Reading skills are of life-long importance, guaranteeing future success in school and work. As adults, reading is an activity that needs to take place every day, regardless of job choice. Reading encourages imagination in children, filling them with brand new information and taking them to previously unexplored worlds. It is important for a child to develop strong reading skills in order to succeed in other subject areas. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends reading to children daily from age 6 months on.
US Department of Education stated that if your child does not meet the average literacy standards by the end of grade one, they're now 88% more likely to keep falling further and further behind all the way up to fourth grade. The researchers at the prestigious Yale University concluded that 75% of children who reached the third grade with poor literacy become completely literate not just right up until their very last year of high school for their entire life and with factual statistics like that it’s no wonder we see high school dropout rates as high as 6 6% in US.
