Parents who want to invest in their children's future need to invest in a pair of reading glasses.
Want your children to succeed in life? According to some leading figures from the literary establishment, it’s crucial that parents encourage a love of books and reading in their offspring. And even the Prime Minister Gordon Brown came forward saying families who read more will not only widen their horizons, but could improve their child’s future job prospects. For those parents who don’t read to their children already, it’s time to dig out the reading glasses and enjoy a book at bedtime.
Reading Glasses – Looking to the Future
Reading glasses may not just help you get sentences in clearer focus, they could help your child’s future. In 2008, author Tony Parsons and book club pioneer Richard Madeley joined a seminar with the Prime Minister to look at ways to encourage a love of reading. The Government stated that a push on promoting reading could be one of their ‘most effective social policies’. Any parent who regularly dons their reading glasses to read to their child at bedtime knows that reading can be a magical experience for families. But Mr Brown also said that it is one of the most powerful tools a society has. He told the press: “It’s probably one of the best anti-poverty, anti-deprivation, anti-crime, anti-vandalism policies you can think of.”
Re-live the Joy of Childhood Classics
If you already love reading, you don’t need any help being converted. Although it helps that reading glasses are seriously on trend. Everyone from Angelina Jolie to Ugly Betty has helped make glasses, and reading glasses, cool. Once you’ve got the glasses, it’s time to invest in some books. For parents who don’t know where to start, then begin with the classics. Boys can be notoriously hard to get into reading, but Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island will get them hooked with a tale of high adventure and pirates. Other enduring classics that are bound to capture any child’s imagination include Wind in the Willows, Black Beauty, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and Swallows and Amazons.
As well as introducing your children to these magical worlds, putting on your reading glasses and picking up a classic will no doubt help parents nostalgically rediscover their own joy of books.
