Did you know there is a benefit to reading the same books over and over?

 Benefits of Reading the 

Same Book Over & Over

Repeating, reviewing & remembering - Rereading Goodnight Moon for the twentieth time can feel annoying, but it is good for the child. The more the child hears a story, the more they understand and remember. 

The joy of reading- Letting your child choose the book you read to them helps them enjoy reading.

Bonding as a family- Reading together helps you bond as a family. Children and adults alike look forward to the bedtime story ritual.

Connecting to the story- Rereading stories helps the child connect with the characters and builds empathy and understanding. 

Fill in the Gaps- Sometimes, children have difficulty finding books they enjoy reading. So, rereading the old favorites helps fill the gap.

Fluency- Rereading helps improve word identification, increase fluency, help the child build confidence, and improve reading comprehension.
