Intro: (Upbeat music plays in the background)

Hello and welcome to the BBC Learning English News Report. I'm your presenter, [Name]. Today, we're talking about a new study that's got everyone excited. Researchers have found that reading can have a huge impact on children's language skills and even their future success.

Main Report:

A team of scientists from the University of Cambridge has been studying the effects of reading on children's language development. They found that children who are read to regularly have better language skills and are more likely to do well in school.

The study looked at over 1,000 children aged 3 to 5 and found that those who were read to at least three times a week had better vocabulary and grammar skills than those who weren't read to as often.

But that's not all. The researchers also found that reading can have a positive impact on children's self-esteem and confidence. Children who are read to regularly are more likely to feel good about themselves and their abilities.

Interview: (Interview with a child or a parent)

I spoke to Sarah, a mother of two, who has been reading to her children every night since they were born.

Sarah: "Reading to my children has been one of the best things I've ever done. They love it and it's a special time for us to spend together. I've seen a huge difference in their language skills and their confidence has grown so much."

Conclusion:

So, what can we learn from this study? The answer is simple: reading is good for children! Whether you're a parent, a teacher, or just someone who loves to read, this study shows that reading can have a huge impact on children's language skills and their future success.
