The benefit of extracurricular reading

Reading is useful at any age, but it's a habit, which means it needs to be developed. The earlier a child loves reading and starts doing it regularly, the easier it will be in life.It's important to start developing the habit of extra-class reading already in the first grade, so that as the child ages, the child understands the importance of reading books.

• To develop the speed of reading. This will help him to quickly read the material in the textbooks throughout the year.
• Learn to put accents and words correctly. If the child reads the text aloud, then his speech will become purer and more correct.
• Develop imagination. Reading, unlike watching movies and cartoons, allows you to think through the characters yourself, and also present the whole story yourself.
• To assimilate the understanding of the material read. It is important, after reading the book, to ask the child what it was about, and what he understood from this.

All this confirms the fact that you need to read in the summer. It does not take much time, but it does a great job.
