It’s time to have your children consider joining a reading group. What skills do kids gain from partaking in an educational library reading group? They acquire knowledge, friendships, a sense of development and accomplishment, and an understanding and appreciation for more than the basic books they are exposed to at public schools. Let them become part of the Historians Club, the Pottermore Club, The Elite Musicians, the Environmental Group or the Language Club. This gives the parents a chance to sit down and listen to all the joys their kid discovers, and help develop meaningful conversations.
