Early reading at home and its impact on children's language skills: Effective synergy between family and school.

Abstract

Early reading at home is fundamental for children's language development, as it fosters skills such as vocabulary, reading comprehension, and oral expression. Activities such as reading aloud and talking about books not only strengthen learning, but also bonding between parents and children. In addition, an appropriate family environment, with access to a variety of books adapted to children's interests, encourages positive reading habits from an early age. Collaboration between family and school amplifies these benefits through effective communication and joint activities, such as workshops and reading clubs. However, challenges remain related to lack of access to resources and low participation by some families. Educational technologies can complement these practices but require adequate supervision. Equity in access to resources is essential for all children to develop their linguistic and personal potential.
