Best Books for Preschoolers

We all know that reading with our children is a good thing. There is no disputing that fact. But did you know that there are many specific benefits your preschooler will gain simply by being read to? As you read to your preschooler this year take comfort in knowing that each moment spent reading each book is strengthening your preschoolers mind in many ways.

We have compiled a list of our favorites, and teacher recommended books for preschoolers. We guarantee that these books will excite your child about books as they prepare to be readers themselves.

The most obvious benefit of reading aloud to preschoolers is an academic one. Children who are read to develop a love of learning and often grasp reading concepts at a younger age than those who are not. They become familiar with the format of books, the printed text, and more complex vocabulary, which will be beneficial as they begin to piece together their first sounds and words. Research has shown that children that are early readers are more successful in school than later readers.

Among other things reading aloud to preschoolers can help in their language development, speech skills, and communication skills. Oftentimes a book can present a complex theme to children in a way they can understand it. As we discuss these concepts with our children they will be able to understand the world around them, but more importantly verbalize and discuss it.

Another benefit of reading aloud to preschoolers is the mental boost that it gives to the child himself. A child that is read to from a young age often develops a high self-esteem and a curiosity about life. These skills will benefit the child not only in reading but in life. The bonding that takes place between parent and child while reading a book is priceless. The one on one time spent sharing a story together can make a child feel supported, loved, and safe. An environment fostering these feelings is priceless in the life of a little preschooler.

As we have time with preschoolers before they enter the world of elementary school, the time spent preparing them for reading readiness is priceless. The benefits are numerous and the results vast and critical. When we read aloud to our preschoolers we not only strengthen our relationship with them, we give them tools to help them prepare for a successful life. So grab a great book and enjoy a great story with your child!
