Hello my fellow readers,It has come to my attention that everybody is not reading enough. Sure there's fanatic book reader's like myself, unfortunately, that's not enough. Every morning, recess and lunch I go to the library, and I am one of the only people in there reading.Reading is so different compared to other forms of entertainment. Here's some fact's that I googled;
Children and young people who do not achieve expected levels of literacy are likely to be from disadvantaged backgrounds.14% of children in lower income homes rarely or never read books for pleasure.Only 1 in 5 parents easily find the opportunity to read to their children.Parents are the most important reading role models for children and young people. (National Literacy Trust, Reaching Out with Role Models, April 2009)10 to 16 year-olds who read for pleasure do better at school. (2013 research by Dr Alice Sullivan and Matt Brown from the Institute of Education)Reading for pleasure is more important for children's cognitive development than their parents' level of education. (2013 research by Dr Alice Sullivan and Matt Brown from the Institute of Education)1 in 4 children cannot read well by the time they leave primary school (Save the Children, Read On. Get On.), September 2014
THIS IS WHY WE NEED MORE READERS!
Television doesn't engage your brain unlike books. Books can help with learning, which is vital for children (and by children I mean YA). Books can teach you so much more than a TV show, it's up to how you perceive it, and it makes you think of all the underlying meanings. You discover what your interests are, and it shapes your global view. You can take a book anywhere and it will be there anytime you come back. Television has been around for not even a century. Look at books! They've been around for centuries. Book's know what they're doing, alright? Book's are more impacting in your life than any screen thrilling content you saw that you vaguely remember. It doesn't matter how you read, whether slow, fast, tablet, hardcover, paperback, in the snow, under a blanket, or with tea. All that counts is that you read!I encourage you to introduce reading to five people this week, and see how it goes. Recommend them something from your collection, or take them to the library. There's so much significance in reading, and just not enough appreciating it. Technology has advanced us to a unlimited amount of it, so let's get cracking!
