They will learn about how to read - left to right, up to down, etc.
They will learn about whatever the stories are about.
They will learn about the importance of education, and the other values the parents impart based on what they say and what kinds of things they read.
They will get self esteem from their parents attention.
They will learn how words are formed, how to pronounce certain words, and enlarge their vocabulary.
As they learn more words, they will understand about prefixes and suffixes, and how words are formed. This will give them a foundation for encountering new words.

I think you mean effects rather than consequences. I have read at least 2 books a night to my daughter since she was very little. She looks forward to it so much still at almost 6. She absolutely loves books and is so excited to be reading some herself now. She reads every word she nows whenever she sees it, on billboards, signs, boxes at the store,.. Reading leads to an interest in education and molds the mind to better handle learning in general. People who read will naturally be more informed and intelligent.

I believe that when children are read to they learn how to develop listening and attending skills as well as a keener attitude towards reading. It also fosters a sense of social existence because it is something being shared between 2 people. Also if the child is allowed to stop the narration to ask questions it helps to develop critical understanding of texts.

I started reading to my son when he was two. He's now six. He loves books, and loves to read. I think it keeps a child's mind open and definitely benefits their speech and learning ability. It also helps them in school. No matter how much reading time you can get with your child, DO WHAT YOU CAN. Any amount of time reading matters. It's also great bonding time with your child.
