Description
How do you create an active reader? How does reading improve creativity? Why is it vital for teaching the next generation resilience and promoting positive mental health?
In the digital age of never-ending screen time you could argue that the power of books has diminished. But while screens have changed the act of reading, Alex Johnson believes reading is even more important and that people value books now more than ever. We can see this everywhere: in the sales of printed special editions, the revival in reading aloud, the increased interest in poetry anthologies and the rescuing of ‘lost words’ from obscurity.
But the problem is: with so many competing distractions, which are the best books for children to read, and how can we access them? How do we get children to start reading? And how can we encourage them to maintain interest? In How to Read Alex Johnson brings his tremendous enthusiasm and informed passion to answer these questions, and many more, and to ensure a new generation of bookworms are whisked away to new worlds and essential discoveries.
