2) Reading helps children to develop strong relationships and social skills.

3) Regularly sharing books with babies and children is a great way to spend quality time together.

4) Children who read have greater empathy, creativity and imagination.

5) Reading is calm, quiet activity and a great way to keep children occupied.
