Study on children's linguistic development: Read a few pages of a book to a 2-week-old baby every day

From two weeks after birth, reading a few pages of a book to the child every day for 9 months accelerates language development. They start understanding words quickly. Such children learn to speak in 9 months only.
This has been revealed in a recent study by Joan C, a researcher at the Edwards School of Medicine at Marshall University. Research shows that reading aloud a few pages of a book every day can help babies 12 months and younger develop speech comprehension.
Some of the parents involved in this research, published in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, were given a set of 20 books. It featured books on language development and illustrations. All parents gave consent to have their children's receptivity and language tested during wellness checkups every two weeks.
Most parents set a goal of reading one book a day. Whose shocking results came out within a year. The receptivity of such children was higher than that of children who were not read any book aloud. The researchers were excited about the results of this research.
Researchers said that it is important to read daily, read more than one book a week, then it develops linguistic comprehension faster. This also develops a bond between parents and children. At the same time, the brain power and language skills of the children are also strengthened.
By the time babies are 24 days old, they can recognize even the slightest change in rhythm. It can even recognize the voices of different family members. If a 5-month-old baby listens to a song every day, he can recognize it as soon as he hears it.
