A couple of years ago, when my older daughter was 8,she gently told my wife and me that she’d gotten too old for us to read her books anymore. We didn’t try to talk her out of it or tell her many benefits of reading aloud to a child (even after they can do so themselves). 1.
Two weeks after stopping our bedtime readings, though, my older daughter asked whether we could start again. 2. As she later explained, “Everyone likes to be read to, even adults.” We’ve continued uninterrupted since. Right now, we’re deep into Philip Pullman’s “The Golden Compass.”
3. In most of the studies, people found that reading aloud appeared to strengthen parents’ feelings of competence, improve the quality of their relationships with their children and even reduce parental stress or depression.
Reading aloud to children improves a young mind’s cognitive development (thinking, problem-solving, decision-making) and reduces behavior problems, research shows. As with playing board games, reading to them increases concentration and attention spans.
And yet, too many of us stop before the kids want us to. 4.
The conversations children have around themes and ideas in books help them make sense of the world. And it’s a joyful way to connect and be close with your kid. While reading in bed, my daughters and I lie next to each other, sometimes leaning into one another. 5. It’s as high a quality as quality time gets.
A. She simply enjoyed the practice too much to let it go yet.
B. When she was a young child, we began a nearly daily reading called Milk & Books.
C. We were disappointed but respected her.
D. Reading aloud was significantly beneficial to children and their parents.
E. In Australia, more than a third of children aged 6 to 1l whose parents had stopped reading to them wanted to continue.
F. We laugh and are surprised together and have deep conversations about the novels.
G. It’s one of the most virtuous circles of parenting and teaching.

As we walked together down the hall,the doctor attempted to catch up with us.“Keep going,” said my wife,pushing the intravenous (静脉注射的) stand.“We’re going to talk to someone who really knows what is going on.” Then she held up her hand to the doctor.“Don’t come any closer to us.”
