What's Born to Read
Every child has the right to be protected not only from disease and violence but also by the lack of adequate opportunity for emotional and cognitive development. This is the heart of Born to Read. Since 1999, the project aims to promote reading aloud to children aged 6 months to 6 years. Recent scientific studies show that the read aloud, with a certain continuity with preschool children has a positive influence from both points of view (it's an opportunity for relationship between child and parents), and cognitive (and physical development earlier understanding of language and reading skills). It also reinforces the habit of reading in children that lasts into later life through the application related to the early report.
