- In this talk, researcher Keisha Siriboe shares insightful learning behaviors that parents, educators, and concerned adults can apply within their lives as well as in the lives of children. Drawing from global education policy trends and her own research, she advocates for more parent-child reading aloud to promote parent-child bonding as well as effective literacy development. Keisha Siriboe is a researcher focusing on early childhood literacy, parent education, access and equity issues within Hong Kong. Her research won an outstanding publication award from the American Educational Research Association this year. In Hong Kong, she provides parent-child early literacy programs through her social enterprise, Stories of Us, and has established a long-term social service children's program at St. Barnabas Society with the Graduate House, University of Hong Kong (HKU). Globally, she works with the Word Educational Research Association, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the American Educational Research Association to cultivate student leadership within educational research and policy development. She is currently a doctoral candidate studying English-language education at the HKU, and in 2014, she was the first African-American to graduate from Beijing Normal University with a master's degree in comparative education. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
I have such fond memories of my mom reading to me and my sisters throughout elementary school
It really nurtured my love for books, and my connection with my mom
I am so grateful she took the time to do that each night 💕
She is so cute. Love her retro style.
There is no such thing as Home Schooling as every parent should be the first line of education for their child.
Thank you havfaith for your kind words =)
From the time I knew that I was pregnant, I started reading to my child. I had read about it in an article where the Chinese people did it. I tried it, and I think that it really worked. It introduced children to reading, and loving books! I believed it because at age three, my daughter knew how to tell the time, and counted from one to a hundred, and lots more.
She was enrolled in grade school at age four. I took her to a school nearby and told a teacher how much she knew, and I'll like to enrolled her. The teacher enrolled her, soon after giving her a few multiplications, divisions and subtractions. Then asked her to read a lesson from the first year book in her class; the teacher was surprised at how well she read, with correct punctuation.
She was then taken to the first standard class, and was asked to read the first lesson, from a child's book. As she stood reading in front of the class, many children bent their heads in shame. Their class teacher said this child is only four years old, and have never been to school, and she can read a lesson from a standard one book, ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD!!!!
MY daughter NEVER went to a Montessori school; I taught her at home. I do think that every parent should try to teach their children as early as possible!
Miss Patricia Khul from Washington, Seattle university also believes it!

My daughter LOVE books; she's now thirty, and is brilliant!

We all have our own opinions.
Have you read the article in question? I suspect not, so how do you know it is nonsense? I haven't read it either, but perhaps it is more to do with the concept of reading with children in general and not specifically from conception...
Doonwati Singh wonderful! My family read and talked constantly with me while I was a baby and throughout childhood. I had a similar experience. Thank you for sharing!
Well, I can't find the article but it's true that kids can hear speech while in the womb. That doesn't mean that kids will be smarter or anything like that if they're spoken or read to. I think it's more likely the way a parent teaches kids once they're born. Continuing to read aloud to them, teach them basic skills etc. from a young age.
I vividly remember my mom telling me stories as a child. Simple things like that really nurture a love for writing and reading
I couldn't agree more. This is something that I feel would have helped me through life to be more successful. (I'm 67 now. . . lol) I was never motivated to read . . or otherwise to be a good student. Those were different times. I pray that more people will be motivated by speeches like this.
Very timely for me, I read to my daughter but not enough, the challenge has been issued and I accept!
plot twist: his daughter is 43
Cowards.
Mr. Brandon👍
right on
Great speaker, great message, great talk.
It's been a while since all these three where cleared.
Good job 10/10.
Madao im
Olumayowa Taiwo What does im stand for? I didn't find any acronyms that would make sense in this context.
i love your confidence in yourself
Im 18 and Im reading 'a series of unfortunate events' to improve my English vocabulary, but sometimes i find it difficult to understand certain words, and occasionally put it down, even though I love reading. In my city we don't have a freakin bookstore library let alone books in English so I tend to read e-books to my little brother it's difficult when you don't have the resources you need to learn, and I have to use the internet for literally everything. however, I feel like my brother's reading skills is getting better i see a little improvement I'm so proud of him, and I hope to see him one day speaking English fluently, i don't want him to have the same education that I had. besides, is not his fault being born in a poor family
You're an inspiration! Junior, I applaud your determination and support of your family. Keep Going!
Sounds like the best thing that could of happened to your brother was you. I’m sure you’re doing the best you can with what life has given you and even if you feel it’s not enough believe me you are changing your family tree for the better.
As a former Kindergarten teacher, and now an elementary school administrator, parent and grandparent, I absolutely agree with the importance of parents reading to their children regularly. The key is truly to be consistent and enjoy those precious formative years of early childhood. My children, now grown adults, all had an amazing start to school because they could read before kindergarten.
I found this book interesting - How Dad made me a superhero. My 7 year old read this quite a few time on just 2 days. He's actually overcoming his little fears and open to explore the scary situations. I happy with the book.
I was reading a story with my little 4-year-old daughter last night, interacting as best as possible, and she remembered what had happened and asked questions this morning on the way to kindergarten. I listened to another story last night and immediately pushed myself into reading with her while she learns to cope with divorce and her own development.
I agree with this connectoin and bonding.
What a wonderful speech ..!!
Love it creater.....
Could you please summarise what the speech was about for me? I couldn't understand her.
Lugh Summerson didn't you understand her words....
It's about for our new generational children....
She talked about what skill future student would need to study ...
actually I liked her speech because I'm an English learner and im highly impressed to her fluency....
Reading aloud to our kids was the BEST start We gave our kids!!!
The literacy component and bonding is great! The opportunities to follow up with discussions to teach and learn values is INCREDIBLE! I honestly think we should do more reading aloud with each other as adults. I think it has the potential for more power than watching movies or discussing books read separately.
I will have to share this video with my daughters, who are currently 8 and 10 yrs old. They both love to read books, so we started doing book reads on our channel to help them improve their English reading and comprehension skills. Looking forward to your exploring more of your videos. Thank You!
Story time is my favourite time of the day. There is something magical about fairy tales/stories. We read to our children every day. In very rare cases that we don't do it, I feel guilty. Children learn so much through stories. I am grateful to my parents who were avid readers and they were buying lots of books for us. Buying picture books is my obsession. And I started writing them as well.
I don't have time to watch the video, but I don't need to. I'm going to give it a thumbs up simply because of the title. Being read to as a child was one of the best, and most important things that happened in my entire life. And it wasn't even a parent who read to me.
Didn’t ask
Same, thanks Mrs P, my 6th grade English teacher.
Amazing as an assistant childcare provider this is a wake up call.
I used to tell stories before bed to two kids I was taking care of, and is so amazing when after 18 years we reconnect and they told me they remember the characters of my stories, and all the little thing I did to make their lives better. this was so amazing to know, I did not know the impact I was leaving in their lives.
incredible and amazing wish you all the best
Excellent! I love her passion, her thoughts and I think they are too important
to build a better future.
My Mom did this for me, and I did it for my kids. It is extremely worthwhile.
Count with your kids, too!
Count the apples you buy at the store, or the eggs you crack for breakfast!
Algo tan sencillo como leer en voz alta a nuestros hijos, tiene que ser ahora descrito de esta manera para que entendamos. Esto lo hacían nuestros abuelos y bisabuelos. Gracias Keisha por motivarnos a regresar a tan buenas prácticas, todo por el futuro de nuestra humanidad.
Marce Navarro Gracias por las amables palabras de aliento. Había mucha sabiduría en las prácticas educativas de nuestros mayores y espero que podamos recuperar algo de ella en el futuro.
Es un honor conocerte, eres inspiradora! Me ayudas mucho en mi labor como madre y maestra. Gracias!!!
This soooooo true. I have no idea what genes attributed to my intellect but I do know my mother read aloud to me since I could remember thus taught me to read before I reached kindergarten. The fact my mother & father did this in a severely negative environment lead to my high IQ more so than any gene expression especially since the fact is that IQ heredity is expressed on a higher level in richer upper class social & family environments. As for the kids in Hong Kong the parents must be talking math formulas out loud with their kids😂
You gave a wonderful presentation. Thank You. My mother read with her children and it was such a positive. :)
This was amazing
She was such a good speaker, omg
Gracias 🙌
Wow such a good speach!!
Excellent TED talk...critical message!
Best Ted Talk Ever...She is Amazing!
Spirited Speaker with valuable Content.
🏍️ First book i remember was How To Eat Fried Worms in the 70s.
Also read aloud books beyond their reading level while they follow along in their book so they can match more "advanced" words to their sounds, if a kid wants to get a book beyond their reading level, let them dont tell them its beyond their reading level, if they want to read a book they will work to read it.
I too proud of you, sister
Wow fantastic , This is my favourite chainal.
Such a heart warming woman. She is wonderful :D
3:34: "Hong Kong, civic engagement, we rocked 2014, we got it." This speech aged well.
Leer a nuestros hijos es prioridad para el éxito común de una sociedad.
I don't know if my mom reading something or not when pregnant me, as I remember she just read a Qur'an, but I have ADD since a kid so she taught me how to read since young age, I can read since 4, but my mom or dad never read to me. So, I grew up without knowing how feels to be read by parents before sleep or whatever. But I love read books since young age cause my grandfather borrowed me an ency book, I love to know world since young. Now, I reading as much as I can or want even I'm slow reader lol
I didn’t just start but I’ve been doing it since they were born.
Amazing speaker
Awesome...
Computer Skills, people skills, money skills, and science skills.
Agree
Awesome a d very inspiring channel----
Dedicated to all mothers loving this activity!@DivyaArun
So if my kid can't sit still should I still read? He is very smart but I just want to know am I talking to myself at this point (ADHD runs in our family).
Amazing.
very good.
❤️❤️❤️
this woman is a goddess.
What should I read to my 4 years old son? Anything or specific books for his age? English or mother tongue?
Taufique Joarder library is a good place to start. The children librarian will help you find books to read to your children. Good luck!
I live in Bangladesh, where libraries are not functioning like most other countries. Most of them don't even have a children's section. However, I will try to follow your suggestion. Apart from the libraries, what is your opinion in general? Should I read to him general (I mean, not specific to his age) storybooks, or age-specific books? Also, since he studies in a Bengali medium school, where emphasis is given on his mother tongue, Bengali. I was wondering if it is useful to read to him English story books and translate into Bengali. This way he may develop a taste for English and catch up the language sooner, when his school starts increasing emphasis on English (in later years). Thanks.
Cadê a Legenda em Português Tedex ???

Preach?
gerald West 😂 in my defense - the venue was a church.
No pos no entendí
If there is one thing I could go back and remove from my childhood, it would literally be the read-aloud sessions. That level of boredom killed brain cells. Kindly place this lecture firmly back up the hole it fell out of, Keisha.
Ummmm I think you should your comment aloud and reflect
Excellent TED talk...critical message!
