Czytanie książek po angielsku wciąga dziecko w ten język w naturalny, bezstresowy sposób, imitując warunki, w jakich przyswaja ono język ojczysty. Dzieci uczą się nowych słów i zwrotów w kontekście fabuły oraz ilustracji, co ułatwia ich zapamiętywanie a także stosowanie. Powtarzane przez najmłodszych struktury zdaniowe i wzorce gramatyczne są przez nie podświadomie przyswajane, bez konieczności formalnego uczenia się reguł. Warto również pamiętać, że czytanie rozwija zdolność interpretacji tekstu, wyciągania wniosków i krytycznego myślenia w języku obcym. Badania wykazują, że nauka drugiego języka stymuluje rozwój poznawczy u dzieci, poprawia ich pamięć, koncentrację i umiejętność rozwiązywania problemów.
