New research from the University of South Australia shows that reading aloud can triple a child's resilience at school, particularly for children at-risk. The research was published in the journal, 'Child Abuse & Neglect.'
Focussing on early primary-aged children who had suffered abuse or neglect, the study explored factors that could modify the negative effects of adverse life circumstances, finding that one of the biggest predictors of resilience in both boys and girls in struggling families was being read to at home.
