Keep the bedtime story: A daily reading ritual improves empathy and creativity in children
Fig 2
The effect of two weeks of daily picture book reading and reflection questions on creativity (fluency and originality) in 6-8 year-olds.
a) Boxplots depicting differences of creativity (fluency and originality) scores across the two reading intervention groups. There were no statistically significant differences in either creativity score between the intervention (pause) reading group and the control (read through) group (Two-way Mixed ANOVA, fluency: p > .999, originality: p > .999). b) and c) Boxplots depicting differences of creativity (fluency and originality) scores across the two occasions. Both creativity types statistically significantly improved from the initial visit to the follow-up visit, regardless of reading intervention group (Two-way Mixed ANOVA, fluency: p < .001***, originality: p < .001***).
