Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Parents often hear that reading to their children is critical forsupporting development,and the message is getting through tothem.In fact,in the United States,a little over half of children betweenthe ages of three andfive were read to every day in 2007,and 83%of children in thatage group in the samecountry were read to three or more times per week in 2012.
This is good news,because reading toyoung children helps their language and brain development.In fact,recent research has found that both the quality and quantity of shared book reading in infancy predicted later childhood vocabulary and reading skills.In other words,themore time parents spend reading,the greater the developmental benefits in their four-year-old children.
This is an important finding.Bu does it matterwhat books parents read?A new study has investigated this question.It followed infants across the second six months of life and found that when parents showed babics books that had faces or objects with specific labels,they learned more.This is in contrastto books that didnot name images,orbooks that had thesamelabel under each image.Books that named different characters also promoted greater learning.So what does this mean for parents?Not all books are created equal,s0 parents need to choose the books they share with their children withgreatcare.
22.What does the passage say parents increasingly understand?
A) Children must read at least 3 times a week.
B) Reading is a habit every child can develop.
C) Reading to their children is important.
D) Children should start reading at age 3.
