And, about that summer reading...
through reading our child can...
- Become an expert. An expert on any subject they like—from sports stats to spelunking, coins to carburetors, or anything in between.
- Live dangerously. Through reading kids can share the challenges, fears, thrills, and achievements of those they are reading about without the risk.
- Have a few laughs. Many kids will enjoy sitting down with a book by their favorite stand-up comedian, a collection of jokes or cartoons, or a humor magazine.
- See the world. Without leaving their room, teens can visit places that fascinate them.
- Travel through time. Historical fiction and science fiction move a reader back and forth in time.
- Use their brains. Kids may enjoy solving a mystery by figuring out whodunit, outwitting a crafty villain, or thinking through a perilous situation.
- Get some free advice. Lots of novels feature teenage characters who have problems and pressures similar to those your teenage may be dealing with.
- Discover new interests. Through reading, your child may develop an interest in something they knew nothing about before.
- Find a cause. Any kid can get smart on an issue that matters to them.
- Escape. Your child can escape noise, tension, or boredom by escaping into a book.
