Summary:

"We have always known that reading aloud is an important way to bond with your baby and develop language skills. Now neuroscience research is showing us the long-term benefit that reading aloud has for children-all the way into adulthood. Author Rekha S.Rajan was part of current research that shows individuals who were read to more frequently as children had a measurably healthier brain in old age. This innovative and accessible book incorporates the latest research on brain development, describes how reading aloud supports language and social-emotional development, and gives parents and caretakers what they need to make read alouds a regular and enjoyable part of the family routine"-- Provided by publisher.
