updated the 9 November 2016 à 17:21
Here are 10 great books for an entertaining read with your toddler or teenager!
Reading with your child not only makes for a lovely parent-child bonding time, but is also a great, effective way to increase their interest in reading. Pediatric studies have shown that reading aloud everyday to your child actually significantly helps to build their literacy skills and language acquisition ability. Plus, you’ll find that conjuring and entering new worlds with your kid with every paragraph and plot twist makes for precious memories you’ll cherish for life. It’s slightly disheartening that our school curriculum today is edging away from encouraging reading, but fret not – reading regularly with your child will get them to independently pick up the habit too in no time.
If you’re looking for new books to add to your collection, or if you’re concerned your child isn’t interested in reading, we have scoured the world of children’s fiction for the best books to read with your little one. Funny, absolutely imaginative and rich with life lessons, we’re confident they are books you’ll love and will have your little one begging for more reading sessions!
