5. Improves Vocabulary
   Reading broadens your child’s vocabulary, which is essential for their future education.
6. Improves Focus
   Regular reading encourages attention and is beneficial for learning.
7. Builds Listening Skills and Imagination
   Listening to stories develops your child’s imagination and auditory skills.
8. Develops Knowledge Base
   Your child learns about colors, shapes, numbers, and letters. As they grow, their interests expand; for example, an interest in bikes might evolve to include cars, airplanes, rockets, and eventually topics like space, science, and technology.
9. Improves IQ
   Many studies indicate that reading to a child in an interactive style can raise their IQ.

    When your child reaches a new developmental stage or encounters an unfamiliar situation, reading a story related to that experience can help ease their anxiety and aid in their adaptation.
12. Makes Reading a Pleasurable Habit
    Your child learns early on that reading is enjoyable rather than a chore. This will help foster a lifelong love of reading, making it a pleasurable habit they won’t feel forced to maintain in the future.
