Abstract

Parent-child reading is a valuable activity that is widely recognized for its positive impact on children's language development. This paper aims to explore the impact of parent-child reading on children's language development and offers practical strategies for parents to help them promote their children's language skills.The research found that parent-child reading had a significant positive impact on children's language development, particularly in areas such as vocabulary, syntax, and communication skills. Reading with children from an early age can help them develop a strong foundation in language and literacy, which can have long-term benefits in their academic and social lives.The paper also provides several practical strategies for parents to promote their children's language development through reading. These strategies include involving children in the reading process by allowing them to select books and encouraging them to ask questions and share their thoughts about the story. Additionally, parents should select age-appropriate books that match their child's interests and reading level.Overall, this paper highlights the importance of parent-child reading in promoting children's language development and offers practical strategies for parents to help them support their children's language skills. By incorporating these strategies into their daily routine, parents can help their children develop strong language skills, setting them up for success in the future.
