Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

"Parents and grandparents shouldn't miss The Enchanted Hour." -- James Patterson, international bestselling author A Wall Street Journal writer's conversation-changing look at how reading aloud makes adults and children smarter, happier, healthier, more successful and more closely attached, even as technology pulls in the other direction. A miraculous alchemy occurs when one person reads to another, transforming the simple stuff of a book, a voice, and a bit of time into complex and powerful fuel for the heart, brain, and imagination. Grounded in the latest neuroscience and behavioral research, and drawing widely from literature, The Enchanted Hour explains the dazzling cognitive and social-emotional benefits of reading aloud that await children, whatever their class, nationality or family background. But it's not just about bedtime stories for little kids: Reading aloud consoles, uplifts and invigorates at every age, deepening the intellectual lives and emotional well-being of teenagers and adults, too. Meghan Cox Gurdon argues that this ancient practice is a fast-working antidote to screen time and the fractured attention spans, atomized families and unfulfilling ephemera of the tech era, helping to replenish what our devices are leaching away. For everyone, reading aloud engages the mind in complex narratives; for children, it's an irreplaceable gift that builds literacy skills, fosters imagination, and kindles a lifelong appreciation of language, stories and pictures. Bringing together the latest scientific research on child development, practical tips, and reading recommendations, The Enchanted Hour will both charm and galvanize, inspiring readers to share this invaluable, life-altering tradition with the people they love most. Discover the research, recommendations, and transformative power of reading aloud: Strengthen Parent-Child Relationships: Explore how the simple act of reading together releases a "bouquet of neurochemicals" that strengthens emotional bonds and fosters a sense of security at any age. Optimal Brain Development: Grounded in the latest fMRI studies, learn how sharing picture books stimulates deep brain networks in young children, creating the "just right" conditions for cognitive growth that screens can't replicate. A Rich Vocabulary: Uncover how reading aloud exposes listeners to millions of words they might not otherwise hear, building the linguistic keys they need to unlock the world and gain a cognitive advantage. Reading Recommendations for Every Age: Move beyond bedtime stories with practical tips and curated book lists designed to console, uplift, and invigorate listeners from the nursery to the nursing home.
