Recognizing and understanding more words widens a child's vocabulary. The more they are read to and the more they read themselves, the more fluent they will become. Exposure to all types of texts (narrative, informative) increases reading comprehension across disciplines. The more you read to your children, the better off they will be. They will improve and increase their vocabulary bank, fluency in reading, and reading comprehension.
