How To Rekindle A Love of Reading In The Next Generation

17/8/2024

Comments

 
How do we encourage children to read for pleasure in the digital age?
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.
