Reading and the Brain

Here is an interesting blog on what happens to the brain when you read to your child.

Lots of good things:
- it helps create a more complex and more defined wiring of the brain;
-it is connected to success in school
-it is a critical intervention in developing literacy skills
-healthy emotional well-being, etc

When we connect reading to our children with reading faith stories to our children we add even more good things as they learn about their faith history and how God has been active in the world - and how God will be active in their lives as well.
