Want your children to be more successful?

Most people know, and study after study has shown, that children who read well do better in all subjects. What most people may not know, but studies have shown, is that "Regular reading not only boosts the likelihood of an individual’s academic and economic success—facts that are not especially surprising—but it also seems to awaken a person’s social and civic sense. Reading
correlates with almost every measurement of positive personal and social behavior surveyed. It is reassuring, though hardly amazing, that readers attendmore concerts and theater than non-readers, but it is surprising that they exercise more and play more sports—no matter what their educational level." The difficult part is getting children to enjoy reading and to want to read.
