World Book Day: Five Children’s Books to Gift Your Child
World Book Day is a global event celebrated all over the world. In the UK, World Book Day is celebrated on the first Thursday of March. This is a day to honour every book that has been written and read around the world. It is a day to make sure every child and young person has a book of their own to read. Books act as a portal to a world of imagination they would have never dreamed of.
Reading a book builds vocabulary, helps develop intellect, enhances social and communication skills, and increases the ability to focus. This World Book Day, you can encourage book reading in your child, by building a reading corner right at your home. It is not as hard as you think it might be. We’ve shared steps for you to build a reading corner of your own to get started!
Steps to Build a Reading Corner
Pick a place which is comfortable and cosy.
Decorate the place with arts and craft. Adding a pillow or comfy blanket would be a good idea.
Set a small bookshelf nearby and make sure the place is well-lit.
Enjoy a good book with your child. This could go a long way in developing regular reading habits for years to come.
