Children who read typically earn good grades and achieve many things in life.
Books can help children in many ways.
They can be used to help children discuss fears and concerns, learn virtues and life lessons, solve problems, pursue hobbies, develop strategies for making responsible decisions, learn about other cultures, and improve school grades. In addition, reading together and discussing themes in books strengthens the bond between parent and child, enriches language, broadens experiences, increases attention span, broadens vocabulary, and strengthens comprehension. Further, children whose parents read to them often grow up enjoying reading. Finally, children who become readers develop the strategies to grow throughout their lives. Whether they read to achieve academically , grow spiritually, escape into a story, obtain information , solve problems, learn a new job or skill, manage their health, handle stress, engage in self-improvement, or for some other purpose, these readers have strategies to respond to change and manage their lives forever.
