On 19 January 2018 Reuters reported: Even in communities where many people lack a high school degree, reading workshops for parents can give their kids a leg up on learning in preschool, a study in Brazil suggests. Lots of research has shown that reading to young kids can help improve their language development and cognitive skills. But while programs teaching parents the best ways to read with young kids have proven effective in affluent areas, less is known about how well these interventions work for poor children whose parents have lower levels of education and literacy. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the fields of health and education, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.
