At Reigate Grammar School Phnom Penh (RGSPP), education extends beyond the classroom. In a continued effort to strengthen the parent-child connection and promote lifelong learning, the school is sharing simple, practical tips for families. This week’s focus? The power of reading together.
Reading with your child, even for just ten minutes a day, can make a world of difference in their development. From expanding vocabulary and language skills to sparking imagination and curiosity, shared storytime is one of the most valuable habits a family can build.
Why Daily Reading Matters
Experts agree that children who read regularly at home show stronger academic performance, especially in language and literacy. But the benefits go far beyond academics—reading together also promotes emotional bonding, helps children regulate their emotions, and builds concentration and patience.
At RGSPP, this philosophy is actively encouraged as part of their whole-child education model. The goal is to support families in creating cozy, consistent reading moments that fit naturally into everyday life.
It’s Not About Quantity—It’s About Connection
The key to success with reading at home is not how long you read, but how often. Children thrive on routine, and knowing that they can count on a special storytime each day provides a sense of security and anticipation. Letting your child choose the book helps build independence and makes the experience even more enjoyable.
Whether you read aloud before bed or share a picture book during breakfast, those moments—no matter how brief—are laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
A Culture of Reading at RGSPP
The image shared in this week’s tip shows a parent and child cozied up in the school’s beautifully designed reading corner—a space that reflects the school’s deep belief in fostering literacy and family engagement. With shelves stocked full of colorful books and soft seating areas, the space invites families to slow down and read together.
This supportive environment is just one way Reigate Grammar School Phnom Penh encourages learning at home and at school to go hand in hand.
