❓ Does reading aloud to newborns really have an effect on their development?

🧠 Yes! Neuroscientific studies show that reading aloud to newborns stimulates neural connections and promotes language development, helping the brain process words and grammatical structures more effectively from the first months of life.

It has been proven that a child who is read to regularly will know about 1.4 million more words than a child who does not listen to stories before starting school (according to a study by Ohio State University).

Furthermore, Illustrated books help children recognize and express emotions by identifying with the characters. This is crucial for developing empathy and emotional intelligence.
