How does READING SHAPE
the MIND?
 “An early start in
reading is important in
predicting a lifetime of
literacy experience --
and this is true
regardless of the
reading comprehension
ability that the individual
attains.”

develops verbal
cognition and linguistic
intelligence

benefit from exposure
to reading volume and
reading encounters
