#Children’s Day
Today is Children’s day! And to celebrate children all over the world, I have picked some books for their reading delight this season. Amidst the lockdown brought on by the Covid-19 virus worldwide, children have been made to stay at home compulsorily and in some countries schools have been shut down since the beginning of 2020. It’s been challenging for the kids especially toddlers, juveniles and tweenies. Teens aren’t left out even though they are trying to act all grown up in the midst of this global crisis. I work with kids of all age categories from year 1-6, and year 7-12, and so I believe I have an inkling to what children may be going through right now.
Toddlers and juveniles have a lot of energy and can’t seem to keep still. They must run around and when they are restricted then that might constitute a problem. Except of course all that energy is channeled into useful and productive activities such as reading, writing and other mental activities that can help engage their minds and make them sit still for a considerable length of time. Which of course is for a limited time because of their short attention span. But I have noticed that books with vivid graphic illustrations can capture the child’s imagination and captivate his senses in more ways than one. When you habitually read to your toddler and juvenile, you subconsciously instill into them the love of reading, and arouse a long life interest in books and reading. By the time a child becomes a tweeny and grows into teenage hood, the child becomes an insatiable reader of diverse genres.
So, for the month of June. I have selected two books that will certainly interest your toddlers and middle graders. Then, one that will definitely thrill your tweenies and teens.
The title of the books are:
The One And Only Bob by Katherine Applegate
Camp Murderface by Josh Berk &Saundra Mitchell
