Reading five books a day exposes children to far more words by age five, study finds
Research suggests that consistent reading by parents substantially boosts a child's vocabulary development. According to the findings, children read to five books daily could encounter more than 1.4 million words by their fifth birthday. By contrast, children without such reading exposure hear only about 4,662 words over the same period. The study indicates that even one book a day meaningfully increases a child's exposure to language. The researchers emphasize the value of establishing early reading habits.
