How your child can develop better communication skills through book-reading?

When your child develops the habit of book reading, their vocabulary begins to expand, gaining a better meaning/understanding of new words that were never explored before; these, in turn–develop the communication ability in your child. Children start to learn different stories from the books they read; which further act as a tool to express themselves in front of the world–whenever meeting new people, friends, socializing, etc.

A study conducted in 2013 concluded that a lot of language & cognitive development happens while reading comics & books of different genres. And while reading, your child is more likely to sit still–developing a longer attention span and even improving on the memory-retention skills that will help them life-long.

Other than becoming a better communicator, your child automatically becomes a better writer–while exploring the world of books.

And apart from communication skills; creativity, social-emotional development & many life lessons are learned through reading books. When it comes to language speaking skills, both–quantity & quality of the words you speak to your child matter. Books of any genre may be comics, literary fiction, or any else–provide an excellent opportunity to get talking, tell stories, and connect with your little one.

Books don’t just give children many new words to speak, you may also notice your child starts picking up things such as how we use the tone of voice to emphasize words, learning the punctuations like where to pause, where to stop, etc, between the sentences.

If you still don’t know exactly how to start with developing the communication skills in your child, consider hitting up an online book-store, you may consider searching for some comic books that develop the creativity/imaginative side of your child, the one “must-read” suggested by us will be The Simba Capeman–Superhero Comic Book for your child.
