Amy’s Amazing Stories

Reading to, and with, children is not only an enjoyable experience that creates a bond between adult and child, there are many more reasons to spend some time doing this.

Here are our top ten positive outcomes for reading to, and with, children:

• It helps keep the brain active and engaged, and exercises the imagination. It also helps increase focus and concentration.
• It has been known to help reduce stress. 
• It helps children gain knowledge and understanding of the world around them. 
• It can teach a child about relationships, morals, cause and effect, and help them gain understanding of what is real and what is not.
• It helps children develop empathy.
• It can help improve memory.
• It promotes increased communication between adult and child.
• Children who read with their parents have been known to do better at school – A study published in Perspectives on Psychology Science concluded that reading to a child in an interactive style can raise their IQ level by 6 points.
• It is vital for developing literacy and language skills. 
• Reading together supports a child’s wellbeing.

“Hi, I’m Clare! I set up my little online book shop in June 2019 with Usborne books. Being part of the Usborne brand has really helped me build my company, since the brand is already a well-loved and long-established publisher of children’s and young adults’ books. I retail these books through my Facebook page and my website, and, because I’m part of Usborne, I can offer big discounts to schools and nurseries.
