Main Idea: The amount of times a child reads a book, whether they are reading by themselves or with a companion, positively effects many parts of their learning development.
Evidence: According to Lisa Van Thiel, from the University of Massachusetts-Boston, the frequency of reading for a child is actually beneficial. The frequency of reading would refer to how often a child rereads a certain passage. It has been said that the increase in frequency can improve the child’s language development. Van Thiel also suggest that dialogic reading with a family member can also improve many other things for the child. That includes: an improvement of expressive language, an increase in vocabulary, and an improvement in the children’s recognition of sounds and letters.
Link: Children who have their own book in there hand will be more likely to want practice their reading skills more often. Having their copy at home as well will motivate them to not just read at school and it will also motivate their family members to read along with them as well.
Conclusion: Children who have their own books will be more motivated to read with their family members and to read their passages/books more than once. They will not need to return the book anywhere or to anyone. In return they will gain more skills that will help them when they dive into higher level reading.
