Compelling research from both the education and medical fields has shown us its importance for parent-child bonding as well as language and literacy development. Families are also telling us it is a deeply profound opportunity to connect in essential ways with children, creating nurturing spaces for them and ways to talk and think together.  \nThe latest Kids & Family Reading ReportTM shows us that the percentage of parents reading aloud during a child’s first three months is up nearly 50% since 2014. And the number of 6–8 yearolds being read aloud to 5–7 days a week is up seven points since 2016. Reason to celebrate! Yet, there is always more work to be done. While a majority of five-year-olds are read aloud to 5–7 days a week, this percentage decreases dramatically at age six and beyond. This outcome shows us we have to grow the message that reading to children is powerful at all ages. It never stops being important and having great impact upon the life of a child.  \nIt’s undeniable that it is hard to fit everything needed to raise a child into a single day, or even week. But I urge you, parents, grandparents, caregivers and educators, to look closely at this powerful data and to seethe opportunities that will open up for the child in your life. Parents tell us they are incorporating read-aloud  \nmoments into routines, using them at impromptu times throughout the day, reading aloud to foster quiet time or as a part of an already boisterous playtime. And while the study shows that it is still themother who reads aloud most often to her children, let’s make anew commitment—as dads, as men, as grandfathers, as siblings—to read more often to the children in our homes and in our care.  \nThe beautiful thing about the read-aloud is how it can be tailored to the lifestyles and preferences of families and caregivers. Everyone can join together around the read-aloud to create a sense of well-being and mutual care. It is a prescription for lifelong success for the child and a dose of deep well-being for the family.  \nPAM ALLYN  \nSENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, INNOVATION & DEVELOPMENT, SCHOLASTIC EDUCATION  \nMORE PARENTS ARE READING ALOUD TO THEIR YOUNG CHILDREN  \nThe Kids & Family Reading ReportTM first created a benchmark of data around family read-aloud habits in  \n2014. This was the same year the American Academy of Pediatrics released new guidelines encouraging parents to read to their children beginning at birth, saying it enhances parent-child bonding and prepares babies’brains for language and literacy skills.  \nOverall, 30% of parents with children ages five and under in the 2014 study reported reading aloud to their child before the age of three months, and 73% reported doing so before their child’s first birthday. Since then, the percentage who say their child was read to before the age of three months is up nearly 50%, with 43% saying their child was read to essentially from birth. Plus, 77% of parents with children ages five and under say read-aloud time started before their child turned one (see Figure 1) .  \n4 KIDS & FAMILY READING REPORT  \nFigure 1.

And among children ages 6–8 and their parents, love for read-aloud time is up eight and nine points","cbCaikSaX24plfB2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikSaX24plfB2","pdf",2652315,16,"English","# The Rise of Read-Aloud\n## Read-aloud momentum in early childhood\n## Benchmarking family read-aloud habits\n## The read-aloud experience: positive by age and income\n## Read-aloud as a partnership and interactive practice","[{\"question\":\"What areas does the report connect read-aloud with?\",\"answer\":\"The report links read-aloud to parent-child bonding and to language and literacy development for children.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the report say about trends in reading aloud since 2014?\",\"answer\":\"It reports nearly a 50% increase in the share of parents reading aloud during a child’s first three months since 2014, and growth in weekly read-aloud for children aged 6–8.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report describe the read-aloud experience within families?\",\"answer\":\"Read-aloud is described as an interactive partnership where children choose books and ask questions, and parents and children take turns engaging through conversation and page turning.\"}]","KIDS & FAMILY READING REPORT - THE RISE OF READ-ALOUD - 7TH EDITION | PDF",1792058057]
