Ten Reasons to Get Kids Reading:
1. Children love reading to become excellent readers.
2. Avid readers acquire a more complex sense of language.
3. Reading gives children wide-ranging frames of reference, which makes all learning easier.
4. A love of reading is one of the major joys of life.
5. Excellent reading skills make it more likely children will weather personal problems with their school work intact, since they will be able to keep up with their assignments by using only a fraction of their time and emotional energy.
6. Avid reading gives children a sense of perspective.
7. Reading helps children to be compassionate.
8. Avid readers are exposed to a world full of possibilities and opportunities.
9. Avid readers develop critical thinking skills.
10. By high school only avid readers will have the literacy skills to excel in any course that demands a good deal of reading.
