We Love Books
One of the reasons Grandpa and I started our YouTube channel is to share our love for books with our grandchildren. We still have tons of children’s books from when our children were growing up and Grandpa still has some from his childhood. We couldn’t bare to get rid of them so we started reading them on YouTube.
We quickly realized that a read aloud book channel could benefit other children too. Our blog is meant to help parents understand the importance of reading to our children as well as share more about the books read. And to share great deals on books and other family items.
I strongly recommend having books available for your children to read. Access to books at home plays a crucial role in children's literacy development. Here are some general statistics regarding literacy and the presence of books at home:
1. Children with access to books at home tend to have better literacy skills. According to research, children who grow up in homes with many books score higher on reading assessments.
2. In low-income neighborhoods, the ratio of books to children is often significantly lower compared to higher-income areas. This lack of access to books can have a negative impact on literacy rates.
3. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, children who are read to at home and have access to books are more likely to perform well in reading proficiency tests.
4. The 2019 Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) found that students who had more books at home scored higher in reading comprehension tests, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
5. Research from the United States Department of Education shows that children who have access to a variety of reading materials at home are more likely to become proficient readers.
These statistics highlight the importance of providing children with access to books at home to foster their literacy skills and overall educational development.
Amazon Prime Days are right around (July 11-12) the corner and I am going to share kids books which are 40% or more off their list price.
