Brain Development and BedTime Stories
Dr. Perri Klass
on family health.
A short excerpt
“A little more than a year ago, the American
Academy of Pediatrics issued a policy statement
saying that all pediatric primary care should include literacy promotion,
starting at birth.
That means pediatricians taking care of infants
and toddlers should routinely be advising parents
about how important it is to read to even very young children. The policy
statement, which I wrote with Dr. Pamela C. High, included a review of the
extensive research on the links between growing up with books and reading
aloud, and later language development and school success”
