""Please for the love of anything READ TO YOUR CHILD DAILY!!!" they begged. "I'm not talking dozens of books or chapters but seriously 5-10 minutes of reading to your child is not only great for your relationship but also great for their brains! And when they become old enough to read, also have them read to you!!""
""I'm a middle school teacher and I'm SO burnt out with kids that can't read for sh*t. I'm not talking one or two or 5 or 10 a grade level or a couple of grade levels behind in their reading, I'm talking dozens and dozens over 5 grade levels behind. Please. If you love your child, take a couple minutes to wind down and ready. You and your child need it. End rant.""
""To add to your point, children who are read to often are able to soak in way more vocabulary! My daughter's drs office have commented how clear speaking she is and when they heard we read to her, they advised how reading makes such a huge difference in clarity of children's speech. And it's such a lovely bonding experience. They pick up on inflection and how to put sentences together correctly too. It is so enriching for them.""
A middle school teacher pleaded for parents to read to their children after observing a widespread decline in reading ability among students. Many students were reported more than five grade levels behind, with dozens of such cases causing teacher burnout. The teacher urged parents to read aloud for just five to ten minutes daily and to have children read aloud when able. Commenters noted benefits including greater vocabulary, clearer speech, improved sentence structure, and stronger parent-child bonding. The plea gained thousands of upvotes and generated mixed parental reactions across social media.
