If you know me or read what little bit of a blog I keep you know that I love to read. Of all the hobbies I have it ranks as one of the most enjoyable and affordable. One of the main reasons I recommend this as a main habit in peoples lives is because there is no cheaper, and in a lot of cases, more beneficial substitute for a college education at home. It is amazing to me that it is possible to pick up an education in the odds and ends of time which most people throw away.
This article was in March issue of success magazine. Parents, read carefully.
Reading to and with your child for just 20 minutes a day, according to The Reading Foundation, helps establish basic reading skills, promotes parent-child binding and encourages a love for learning. The foundation also assets that reading daily to a pre-school child may have a significant impact on his PR he earning potential later on life: "For every year you read with your child average lifetime earnings increase by $50,000."
Tweens and teens who read for pleasure tend to have a better vocabulary than their non-reading peers.
When I think about the gifts I was given as a child one that has been crucial to any success I have had was that my mother read to me, with me and more importantly in front of me. Good parents don't tell children how to live their lives... They simply live their own and the children watch.
