Green Bean Supports Kids | Reading for Pleasure

​Getting children to read for pleasure is the cornerstone of Green Bean Studios! Our fun stories encourage children to love reading from a young age.  

Reading for pleasure opens up new worlds for children. It gives them the opportunity to use their imagination to explore new ideas, visit new places and meet new characters. Interestingly, reading for pleasure also improves children's well-being and empathy.

The National Library Trust (UK), defines reading for pleasure, also referred to as independent, leisure or recreational reading, as: Reading we do of our own free will, anticipating the satisfaction we will get from the act of reading.

Many children struggle to choose a book - check out this how to choose a book poster to help little ones find just the right book for themselves and can be displayed in the school library and classroom.

We live in a world overloaded with information. There are endless sources of entertainment available at the click of a button. Now, more than ever, children are being exposed to greater screen time from TV, games, computers, tablets and mobiles – a vast array of digital displays all competing for their attention.
