Reaching for the SKY
If you’ve been following our journey over the last year, you’ll know that Green Bean’s journey into the world of TV has continued to develop and gain traction. We are pleased to share that we are in the final stage of confirming Green Bean going on tour with SKY TV, performing in-house Storytime sessions with employees along with their children and grandparents. Our first event is now confirmed at SKY Stockport Centre on 26th October 2024, with upcoming events soon to be confirmed across the UK. Our range has been created in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework (EYFS) set out by the government to help children develop and thrive. The books in the Green Bean Collection enable children to develop key skills in communication, reading, writing, maths, and creativity, preparing them for formal education. Green Bean’s Colours teaches children to recognise different colours with bold and vibrant illustrations which stimulate the imagination and help children to understand the world around them. Our early readers include Green Bean at the Pool, Green Bean at the Park, and Green Bean’s Bedtime. These engaging stories are fun and stimulating to help broaden children’s vocabulary and encourage reading for pleasure from a young age. Books have the power to change people’s lives. When children read for pleasure, the benefits are huge - not only does it help to build confidence and promote good mental health and wellbeing, but it gives them greater social mobility and opens up opportunities for them to succeed throughout life.
Though the decline in children reading books for enjoyment is clearly an area for concern, that is not to say that digital forms of storytelling and entertainment are bad or should not be used. There are many benefits to utilising digital formats. The internet and social media are powerful tools for sharing information quickly with a large, global audience. When used in the right way, they can serve to increase interest in books by promoting new book launches, telling people about upcoming literary festivals and author events, and to connect and communicate with the people who are the gatekeepers of children reading – the parents, carers, teachers and childcare providers who can all help to nurture a lifelong love of reading in children. Many children’s TV shows have been created from much-loved books, bringing the stories and characters to life and helping to engage children’s imaginations. There are games and interactive online platforms using characters from books, to help children learn whilst having fun. Arguably the best way to engage young readers and get children reading books for pleasure is threefold: 1. Improving accessibility of books for all children within schools and public libraries through proper funding. 2. Ensuring all school children experience at least one author visit per academic year. 3. Using a blended approach to storytelling, through digital and printed forms of entertainment and education. All children, regardless of their background or family circumstances, deserve to have access to books on a daily basis. Only then can we hope to rekindle a love of reading in the next generation. Do you have any other ways to engage children and inspire enjoyment of books? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Follow me on Twitter @MelBrannlund or email me [email protected]. To further kickstart your child’s reading, writing, and creative skills you can explore our Kids’ Club and download our fun activity sheets, with arts and crafts, colouring, and educational activities supporting KS1 and KS2 aged children.
