17. 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.”
Reading volume
develops verbal
cognition and linguistic
intelligence
All kinds of readers
benefit from exposure
to reading volume and
reading encounters
