More reasons why reading to your child is important: 1  In the 21st century, reading is essential for building skills that will support a lifetime of learning.  Family members can create bonds across generations, including parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and older cousins reading to young children.
Vocabulary plays an important part in learning to read. Beginning readers must use the words they hear orally to make sense of the words they see in print.
