Kids Freesouls Announces a 'Book Week' every year in November. Dive into the Ocean of Knowledge picking up pearls of Education, Entertainment & Information to share with friends. Books widen the doors of imagination and stimulates the mind. Desire of Knowledge is a natural feeling. Lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel. Some read to think, some read to write but majority of them need to talk! Our mind is a wanderer as it create thoughts, thoughts create intentions and intentions create reality! Thoughts rule the world! The mind in its own place and itself can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven.

Happy Reading, Keep the faith.

Inspire Kids...ENCOURAGE READING.....

Warning Signals!!!

One of the most neglected Educational snag in Summer Vacation and Schools is ‘Lack of Reading Habit’. Ask most of the kids and they seldom prefer Reading as a hobby. No wonder, most of the child’s school day is devoted to reading-skills instructions yet, words remain bookish and many kids can hardly read any other book other than the school Text. This is a major drawback, which is overlooked by many Educators and parents, which becomes a serious ‘stumbling block’ in the development of a child in the later stage.There are lot of distractions out there with Television programs, computers, activities and entertainment fun. If reading is not encouraged, kids won't develop the vocabulary, the skills and ease of reading. Fluency creeps out. And they cannot communicate! Once they lose interest in reading, it's hard to get them back to motivate to read. They can't read fast and face climbing mountains when they peek to higher classes. Relationship between alphabet and speech sounds needs to be balance with phonic learning in beginning and than clicking to whole language, literature reading. Conversational skills come along with word power, quite naturally! Here are a few ideas to motivate and encourage Reading Habits in your home whether the child is toddler or adolescent.

Warning Signals!!!

Kids normally hang on to activities they feel ease at. Mostly common is Drawing & coloring. Dancing, playing, computing, singing etc. are other activities that draw their attention. Leaving aside exceptions, most of the kids wriggle out of Reading habits and evade any new material other than school lessons. They lack the confidence as their vocabulary is limited and any new word they come across, they fail to pronounce or understand the meaning too. Moreover, they are slow and their patience wane within minutes as kids are unable to stick to a particular activity for a long time. Hence, reading habits are not formed if kids are not mold in right manner. Gone are the days of the Library reading class or writing a Book review. When reading is on back seat, writing a review of the book is far away hobby kids can adopt. They are not able to write in their own words except for the mugged up lesson and answers they learn at school. Kids hate to read for a variety of reasons. Reading just isn't their second nature. Sometimes kids are emotionally turned-off whereas at times, they might be facing learning disorders. When kids draw the line for reading, know the signs of Reading Problems:
