An Ohio State University study estimated that children who are read five books each day may hear approximately 1.4 million more words by kindergarten than children who are never regularly read to. 👀
Even reading just one book each day was associated with exposure to approximately 290,000 additional words by age five. 📚
Every story introduces new vocabulary, encourages questions, strengthens listening skills, and helps prepare children for the classroom.
You don’t have to finish five books tonight. Start with one story, one conversation, and one consistent reading routine.
