Yeah, I have three sons and the oldest has children and he, he started reading to his daughter when she was four weeks old. And it’s interesting, the American Pediatricians Association has just published a study that is talking, that it’s a neuroscience study and it’s talking about reading to infants and it says that just the sound of the words increases the plasticity of your brain, increases your actual ability to learn and understand and communicate.
So those of us who are involved in children’s books have known that intuitively but it’s great now that there’s scientific evidence that reading from the earliest possible age, from infancy or being read to raises your intelligence, actually your intelligence, not just your appreciation of literature. But makes your, the matter in your brain function more efficiently, able to absorb more information and be plastic, be flexible.
