Most parents know that reading to kids is good. What many do not realize is how deeply it shapes how children feel about books for the rest of their lives. Reading aloud does more than teach words. It creates comfort. It builds connection. It turns stories into warm memories instead of school tasks. That feeling is what leads to building love for books that lasts long after childhood.
