Light Up Your Child’s Imagination With Reading

Posted on | by KD Novelties
The benefits of reading are widely known. Reading builds upon a person’s ability to communicate by expressing their inner thoughts and feelings or recounting events in an effective way.  A love for reading has been known to act as a precursor to a lifelong love of learning. Being able to read and read well makes it easier for individuals, especially kids, to grasp new concepts and bits of information. This aspect of reading is perhaps the most important. Reading and acquiring information helps children have more vivid imaginations, and according to studies conducted by child-development experts, imagination plays an important part in cognitive development.
Reading Personalized Books

Believe it or not, an active imagination helps kids understand reality. The ability to imagine scenarios, stories, and characters helps kids learn about other people. When we converse, we share stories. When we listen to stories our friends and family tell us, we are being asked to imagine a series of events that have not directly happened to us. Imagination helps kids learn this valuable concept. It also helps them grasp abstract ideas like the future or the presence of possibilities beyond the present.

Reading is a fundamental tool to developing imagination. The outcome of reading helps children and readers of any age, to imagine things that are not directly happening to them or relaying information they are not directly observing. 
Personalized books can help reluctant readers develop a love for learning as well as develop fundamental imagination skills. Our personalized kids books help kids imagine themselves in the stories they are reading and makes it easier for them to mentally place themselves within these abstract scenarios and situations since they are placed directly into the story. Therefore, children can better transition into reading books about other characters and grasping more abstract concepts and ideas.

Get Your Kids Outdoors!

Now that the weather is warming up considerably, it’s time to start playing outside again. Outdoor activities not only encourage a positive relationship with nature and the general outdoors, but they also promote physical activity. Any outdoor game is an adventure, especially when you’re a kid, but sometimes it is a lot harder to give our kids that nudge out of the door. Even though the weather is gorgeous and the plants are beginning to bloom, they may be more preoccupied with television, tablets or other digital devices. While all of these mediums have their own pros and cons, it’s still important to balance how kids spend their time. What you can do is use mediums such as interactive games and personalized books to get kids to play outdoors.
