In our house, interactive books are a HUGE hit right now! Interactive books are fantastic for toddler-aged kids to upper elementary kids! All I know is now I am determined to find more interactive books that will resonate with not only my son, but with MANY kids!
Interactive Books are so important for many reasons! Here are the top FIVE reasons they are important:
1. Multi-Sensory Learning: When reading interactive books, having a multi-sensory experience really captures your child’s attention. They can be more appealing and allow for a long attention span when reading a book.
2. Skill Development: My son loves being able to be hands-on while reading! He can turn the pages, lift the flaps, touch the sound buttons and feel different textures. It allows him to develop his motor skills!
3. Learning Style: All kids have different types of learning styles. These are great books for visual learners. This will allow them to have a more personalized learning experience and remember and retain information better.
4. Adult-Child Interaction: Children feel included when you can both interact while reading the story. Showing them where to touch, lift, press, etc. makes them feel bonded to you and wanting to read more!
5. Creativity and Imagination: Many interactive books include sound effects which adds a layer to the reading experience! This can help children build vivid images in their brain!
