what are the benefits of reading to your children?

Response:
Reading to your kids benefits both the kids and yourself! Children learn empathy, expand their vocabulary, become better listeners develop their imagination by listening to the stories and creating their own vision in their minds. They also develop new skills based on the content of the books. For example, they will learn how the human body works if you read them books about body parts; they will understand emotions better if you introduce them to cute picture books on feelings.  A good children's story should have repetition, relatable characters, and predictability. The story of Goldilocks, the three little pigs, Jack and the beanstalk, and Charlie and the chocolate factory are some good examples. If kids can recite the stories or rephrase them to others, they have learned to express themselves!
