Here is a fantastic graphic that explains why a child needs to read every day. It points out the stark difference between a child who reads for twenty minutes every day and the child who basically doesn’t read.

1,792,000 Reasons Why Your Child Needs to Read Every Day

Why Your Child Needs to Read Every Day

The long-term difference and impact of reading every day versus not cannot be overstated. The graphic is from Perry Public Schools in Kansas. (Click on graphic to enlarge.)

1,792,000 reasons why your child needs to read every day graphic

Children who don’t read every day will simply fall behind in almost all cases.

Reading fluency is so critically important to virtually every academic area that denying a child the opportunity to develop fluency is setting the child up for academic failure.

Finding the Right Books for Your Child

Some children may not seem naturally inclined to read, but almost all children will willingly engage with print if you put the right thing in front of them.

It is better that they read graphic novels or even “twaddle” than nothing at all.

Keep putting print in front of your child until you find something she likes.

Her future may depend on your willingness to find something that works.
