Children who are "well-read-to" (at least five times a week), when asked to tell a story, used more literary language than unread to children and they used more sophisticated syntactic forms, longer phrases, and relative clauses. They were also better able to understand the oral and written language of others - an important foundation for the comprehension skills that will develop in the coming years.
