Even During School Year, Fun Reading is Important for Kids

Even During School Year, Fun Reading is Important for Kids

(NewsUSA) – Most young kids love reading, but when the busy school year starts, it can be challenging to find the time to encourage them to read for fun.

It’s important to remember, however, that the more kids read on their own time, the higher they tend to score on tests.

In fact, about 76 percent of students who report reading for fun on their own time once a week or more perform at the high end of basic level testing, while 14 percent of students who never or hardly ever read for fun perform below the basic level, according to the American Library Association.

So how can we get kids reading during their free time when they’re already so busy in and out of school?

“Kids should be exposed to a variety of books and genres so that they can figure out what they enjoy,” says Stephanie Fryling, Vice President of Merchandising, Children’s Books, at Barnes & Noble. “If kids love the books and topics they’re reading about, like a graphic novel, they’re much more likely to reach for a book as often as a video game.”

It can be a challenge, however, to know what reading to get for your kids, let alone put down money for them.

That’s part of the reason bookseller Barnes & Noble started a national Kids’ Book Hangout. This free, seasonal event offers kids, parents, and caregivers a chance to gather together to learn about a range of books for grades 1-6, as well as play fun games and activities related to the stories and characters.

“We wanted to create a fun, friendly environment for kids to learn about new books and genres so they can find what interests them,” Fryling says.

The first Kids’ Book Hangout, held this summer, was a big success, drawing over 10,000 kids to Barnes & Noble bookstores around the country. Fryling expects the next Hangout to be even bigger.

The second Hangout will take place Saturday, October 20, at 2 PM, and features a range of books and graphic novels about friendship, adventure, and mystery. Barnes & Noble partner with Penguin Young Readers and Random House Children’s Books on the following titles:

* “The Cardboard Kingdom,” by Chad Sell

* “5 Worlds: The Sand Warrior,” by Mark Siegel and Alexis Siegel

* “The Last Kids on Earth and the Cosmic Beyond,” by Max Brallier

* “Squirm,” by Carl Hiaasen

* “Monstrous Devices,” by Damien Love

During the Hangout, booksellers will introduce the books to the kids along with games, activities, and free giveaways. Barnes & Noble will also sell the books for 20 percent off in stores and online on the day of the event.

To sign up at their local Barnes & Noble, parents can go to bn.com/bnhangout and register for free.

For this Hangout, Barnes & Noble also partner with DOGObooks, where kids can discuss, rate, and review the selected titles. Kids can visit the Kids’ Book Hangout page at DOGObooks.com before or after the Hangout.

Get Your Child Out Ahead of the Game Before the Start of the Next School Year

With Coronavirus putting an end to the school year in many states, now is the time to give your child a boost to get him or her up-to-speed. Many children are going to be behind the eight ball by the time the next school year begins, because even though their parents have been schooling them at home, not all parents are going to have their children equally prepared.

Reading with your children is important for their emotional health, but not everyone is able to do that on a regular basis, for an assortment of reasons. However, the path to future success in school and in life begins with learning how to read at the youngest age possible, even as young as 2 years old. If you look at the world’s most successful people, you will find that many of them were put on path to reading success at an early age. The links and banners on this site help pay for part of our internet connection. And when you click on certain affiliate links on this site, I make a small percentage here and there, at no extra cost to you, for your clicks and your purchases.

“If reading as a pathway to success isn’t enough to get you motivated, consider these health benefits of reading: Reading has been shown to help prevent stress, depression, and dementia, while enhancing confidence, empathy, decision-making, and overall life satisfaction.”

Quoted from: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-reading-habits-of-ult_b_9688130 and https://www.fastcompany.com/3048913/how-changing-your-reading-habits-can-transform-your-health

Some studies indicate that reading on a daily basis as people become older, can help eliminate, reduce, or delay things like dementia and depression. Also, people who read on a daily basis, such as Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, are successful because reading on a daily basis has made them better decision makers. In general, people who read on a regular basis are more satisfied with their lives than those who don’t read on a daily basis.

Learning to read is analogous to learning how to play a musical instrument. A perfect example of this is Ludwig Von Beethoven, who became a published musician at only 23. The earlier one starts, the more successful they will become. This program will help your child start learning at an early age, even as young as 2, successfully and enjoyably. This program will also get your youngster prepared for entry into school if they haven’t entered yet, and prepared to become a better student if they have already begun their education, even if they are as old as 14. It will prepare your children on the fundamentals of how letters are put together to assemble words, how words are put together to assemble sentences, how sentences are assembled to form paragraphs, and how paragraphs are then assembled to form stories, articles, and books. Successful reading also leads to becoming a successful writer, which will also be important in high school, college, pursuit of an advanced degree, and ultimately, a career.

The more confidence a child develops along their path in their reading and writing abilities, the better their chances will become at also becoming an effective, influential, and persuasive speaker. Those who receive the best grades during their years of becoming educated and go on to progressively climb the corporate ladder, are frequently called on to make presentations in front of an audience consisting of classmates, professors, peers, and superiors. Becoming a persuasive presenter will undoubtedly lead to better interview preparation, better career opportunities, and better promotion opportunities and a larger income. So, start your child today, on a path to a better tomorrow.

This program offers a 365-day money back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by starting today!
