Global, semi-global, syllabic… There are many reading methods. Just like its benefits!

Better knowledge of the language

Thanks to the many stories it offers, reading allows children to discover new words and thus enrich their vocabulary. No need for a dictionary, thanks to the context, it can be easy to understand the general meaning of words.

Reading sometimes gives the opportunity to play with words and with different language registers. One of the best books on the subject? “La Belle Lisse Pear from Prince de Motordu”.

Depending on the books chosen, reading allows you toapproach complex sentences with demanding grammar. Entering the world of fairy tales also means discovering certain times of conjugation such as the simple past. 

Cultivate

The more the child reads, the more the child will cultivate himself. Indeed, reading is like a secret garden that each book adorns, like a flower.

The choice of books is immense and you just have to go to a library to realize that it is also very varied. Novels, history and geography books, comics… A real gold mine for those who thirst for learning!

All these works allow children and adolescents who read them to enrich their personal culture.

Develop your imagination

Reading novels makes the child and adolescent travel to other universes, other places or other times. It takes them out of their daily life and out of their routine.

It thus contributes to feed their imagination but also to develop it. Knights of the Round Table, secret agents or prominent figures of the Revolution, are examples of heroes with which the young reader can identify.

He then has only to dream and create your own stories.

Decrease stress

Reading is a break, a moment when we lock ourselves in our bubble. It is a moment of calm, stress-free, particularly appreciated by parents!

To occupy oneself in silence, almost in any place: this is one of the biggest advantages of reading!

In the evening, it is a particularly relaxing activity that helps prepare your body for sleep. For adolescents who cannot fall asleep, reading is particularly recommended.

Make your brain work

Did you know ? Studies have shown that reading can develop a neural network that helps to understand or think in more complex ways.

Reading is strongly recommended for children, especially since the brain is under construction until the age of 18. 

Another benefit of reading on the brain: she makes memory work. A real brain sport! So no more screens and head for the library to devour many books …
