Why read to your child from the first days of life?
It has been observed that a child who enjoys reading has better chances in life. (PISA, Reading for Change, 2000, p. 143).
Reading aloud to a child has been shown to reduce developmental differences between children: emotional, intellectual, and social. (Barry Zuckerman, Promoting Early Literacy in Pediaric Practic: twenty years of Reach Out and Read. Pediatrics 2009; 124: 1660-1665.)
Topics discussed include:
– The shape of health policy in the context of pediatric care and equalizing development opportunities for children.
– What does psycholinguistic research say about the role of reading in early language development?
– How does dialogical reading affect children’s brain development?
– What are the latest research results on the impact of reading aloud on convalescence?
– How to talk to patients’ parents and what books to recommend?
