Why they MUST read

September 28th, 2009 by caikeda

readerAs a parent, I must admit that although I provide my kids with a plethora of reading materials, that doesn’t always ensure that they will read. When the day is winding down, I will readily admit that as long as they answer “yes” to my question, “did you do your reading?,” then I am satisfied that my daily parental obligations have been met.

Can I guarantee that they’ve read their prescribed 20 minutes, 30 minutes? No. But although I am not a math person, this mathematical parable of why kids MUST read for 20 minutes makes perfect sense to me. I’m sharing the link with you below, parent to parent.

    It seems that people are losing their attention span due to tv and the media. It’s unfortunate that nobody reads anymore.

    I enjoyed your post. Will create a backlink to your site and follow up.
