Watch The Official Green Bean & Friends channel get ready for some fun adventures on YouTube! We’re excited to be celebrating World Book Day (WBD) 2024 at Green Bean Studios! This year’s theme is ‘Read Your Way’, the idea being that children are more likely to read for pleasure if their choices are championed and make reading more fun. With children’s literacy levels at crisis point and reading for pleasure declining, children are under increasing pressure to spend more time reading and jump through hoops in the education system to improve their literacy skills. Though there is a desperate need for improvement to children’s early years education, forcing children to read books simply to develop literacy skills is not the best approach to help them read for pleasure. Giving children a choice of what to read is a vital part of encouraging a lifelong love of reading. This year’s WBD theme encourages everyone to let go of pressure and expectations to give kids the choice and chance to enjoy reading. Good literacy and a true love of reading will come naturally if we give children the space and choice to read what excites and engages them. There are many different types of writing that may inspire children to love reading without forcing them to read only books that are ‘at their level’ or within their book band as they learn phonics in school. Here are some of the different types of writing and storytelling that can help children discover their own joy of reading:
Allowing children to read books which are above or below their current reading level, if they are types of story or writing that they engage with and enjoy, is key to raising the next generation of passionate readers and writers. But it is not just written forms of storytelling which inspire children to read. Author visits and oral storytelling also play an important role in sparking a love of reading and stories during childhood and beyond. In honour of the annual World Book Day celebration, we asked Green Bean Studios team members and our Precious Moments Ambassadors to tell us a favourite story they remember from their childhood that sparked their love of reading.
