What does it take to raise a bookworm? How do we get our kids to fall in love with reading? The husband and I love reading and we assumed it would come only naturally for our li’l girl. But it isn’t as easy as we would think. With a world of distractions like gadgets, games and television to pull them away from books, it is up to us, as parents, to keep reinventing our strategies in our mission to raise young bookworms!
We, at Kidsstoppress, have always believed in the power of reading and how it does a world of good to our child’s knowledge. What started as a group of discussions among like-minded moms, our KSP Book Club now works to give curated and age-specific reading recommendations for kids- straight to your inbox. Just click-buy and read (Really, it’s that simple!) Click here to subscribe to KSP Book Club today!
