Why You Should Read to Your Child Everyday

As technology has developed, we’ve become a society of TV watchers and computer addicts. Reading has become more of dreaded chore than a hobby, for children and adults alike. But according to neurologists, TV puts children into an “Alpha State”, and does little for their mental growth. Children can’t learn from most TV programs because most are designed to sell products not to teach.

At Sword Pen, we believe that although books are often overlooked as source of entertainment, they are extremely important to develop a healthy mind, especially if you’re still growing.
As Deirdre Donahue, USA Today children’s book reviewer put it, "If you want to raise readers, you must provide them with books as soon as humanly possible. This is a parental obligation on par with vaccinations.”

Books build a child’s imagination, which is extremely important for the mental growth of children 3-7 years old. So buy childrens books and make it part of your routine to read to your child, daily. Childrens book publishers like Swordpen, recognize that stimulating young minds with new words and ideas is crucial to growth and development and fiction childrens books are a great way to do that.

Quality doesn’t have to come at a high price. Fiction childrens books are available at Swordpen.com
