From the time our kids can hear us (basically from within the womb)  they can begin the process of learning from reading.  Once they have come into the world we need to make books an integral part of each day. The gifts that come from READING are proven to be fundamentally beneficial in all areas of life.  So much is learned from being read to,  But as we grow from children to adults reading has expanded our views and strengthened our abilities to communicate.  The world of words discovered through reading is the foundation for sharing ideas both written and spoken.. 

Is Reading Important?

. Consider this article regarding the importance of reading in the lives of young children:

Early Childhood: It’s Important To Encourage Reading

An article from Mental Help.net            JAN 16, 2008

ANGELA OSWALT, MSW,    NATALIE STAATS REISS, PH.D    AND

MARK DOMBECK, PH.D.

“There is a magical time between ages 3 to 7 when children expand out beyond verbal communication and start to develop written language skills as well. It’s an amazing transformation. Very young children can identify letters and sound them out. Eventually, older children learn to identify common words, and then start to write and read on their own.

One of the most lasting ways caregivers can impact their children’s overall success and joy is by instilling in them a love and passion for reading. Learning how to read and write opens up limitless opportunities for children, giving them an entirely new way to communicate, to expand their imagination, and to learn new information. Moreover, if children learn to enjoy reading, they will further develop reading skills on their own and not see it as a chore or difficult task to avoid.

Caregivers can encourage the love of reading in their children in many ways. First and foremost, adults should read in front of and to their children. Kids should see Mom and Dad reading pleasure books, recipes, how-to manuals, magazines, newspapers, and signs out in the community. Once children have started learning to read on their own, caregivers can encourage them along in this process by asking them to help identify street names, addresses, food labels, store signs, and so on. Next, books and reading should be incorporated into the daily life of the family. A nightly bedtime story or a weekly library trip can be a fun “reading ritual”. In addition, many libraries also host free or low cost literacy events such as story readings and summer reading programs. Finally, age-appropriate books should be easily accessible to everyone in the home. For example, simple board books with lots of colorful pictures should be stored on low shelves within easy reach of toddlers. Older children should have bookshelves in their bedrooms (or other dedicated yet convenient book areas) for current reading material and library books that are next on the reading list.

Caregivers should not worry about buying the latest books at expensive prices. Free or inexpensive children’s books can be obtained at used bookstores, thrift stores, or garage sales. As well, all families (and children who are old enough) should have library cards which offer free access to library books and media. As much as possible, trips to the library should allow children time to roam and explore the aisles and select materials that are new and interesting (as well as selecting favorite stories or authors).

Parents should not push their children too hard when they’re learning to read. Many caregivers care so much about helping their children to read that they may give their children extra reading homework assignments or mandate a certain number of minutes that children must read every day. Though well intentioned, such assignments can backfire and end up causing reading to be seen by children as an onerous chore. Caregivers need to gage children’s receptivity to reading and respond appropriately. While it is good to try to motivate children to be interested in important activities like reading, their enthusiasm for such activities needs to be kept as genuine and internally motivated as possible. Should they start feeling pushed, rushed, or otherwise forced to engage in cognitive tasks like reading, their enthusiasm may be squashed. As is the case when helping to promote other aspects of children’s development, caregivers should take care to stay calm and relaxed while working with their children.”……..

Why Is Reading Important?

Have you ever considered whether reading really is important and if it is Why is it? Let’s share a few thoughts about the importance of READING. Perhaps you will gain a new view on reading and why it is important to your life. Perhaps you will gain a whole new insight into the importance of reading.

WHAT READING DOES FOR US:

Reading Exposes Us to New Things:

  Through reading, you expose yourself to new information, new ways to solve a problem, and new ways to achieve any one thing. Are you looking for a new hobby or do you sense a hidden talent needing encouragement?. Perhaps the pages of that new book hold the answer to your search.  Who knows – you might actually explore one thing you really like and  end up making it your career (or new career).  You may find that very thing you have been searching for to achieve  the success you have been craving,   Understanding and achievement grows from the seeds planted from a good book.

Encourages Self Improvement:

Reading helps you become a better person. Through reading, your understanding of the world around you grows. Through reading, you build upon the foundation you have already established.  The foundation of an idea, a plan or a project of your dreams. The right book or series of books helps to formulate the process you will follow in reaching your goals. As you put into practice what you read you feel self confidence grow. Things like learning how to make a plan better before taking action, how to commit important things to memory and how to build greater memory skills. Many of these self improvements begin in a book. Through reading you create a structured path towards better understanding and better actions to take as you pursue your dreams.

Reading develops the imagination.

TV and computer games have their place but they are  tools of amusement. Amusement comes from two words “a” [non] and “muse” [think]. Amusement is non-thinking activities.

Reading, is an active pass time  a person can go anywhere in the world…or even out of it! They can be a king, or an adventurer, or a princess, or… the possibilities are endless. Non-readers don’t experience these joys to their fullest.  They are stuck in the passive world of just thinking not imagining in word pictures.

Reading develops our creative side . It is good when reading to children, to stop every once in awhile and ask them what they think is going to happen next. Get them thinking about the story. When it is finished, ask if they could think of a better ending or anything that would have improved the story. If they really liked the story, encourage them to illustrate it with their own drawings or to make up a different story with the same characters. Get the creative juices flowing!

According to Jonathan Kozol in “Illiterate America,” quoted in “The Teacher Who Couldn’t Read,'” the three main reasons people give for wanting to read are:

1. To read the Bible,
2. To read books and newspapers, and
3. To help their children.

I think everyone can conclude that reading is a vital skill! Reading Strategies are also a part of learning to read.

Thank you Glenn – and I totally agree.

If you like a topic, or a Movie Series, you should dive into the books.  Books allow for so much more detail in  the plots,and characters of a story.  If you love it on the big screen, you’ll more than love it between th cover pages of the book.

Do you travel, drive or fly a lot?  You would be a perfect reader! , There are times when AUDIO BOOKS are the best way to “read”, for sure a great addition to your personal growth.  Having a book read to you is a great way to soak in a story, to learn history, to just plain gain knowledge.
