Reading, just for fun, has a lot of competition. Our children have social media to check, videos to create, interactive games to play with their friends and access to unlimited TV shows and movies with a click of a button. On top of electronics, our children’s days are scheduled with sports, lessons, family time and playdates. A book club is EXACTLY what they need to encourage reading for enjoyment!
Think about why adults join book clubs. Maybe they like to read, but more often book clubs become places to meet with friends, to chat about life (and the book), and to laugh. Just like in adult book clubs, Paperback Portal kids will find the meeting a reward for reading. Your child will be excited to make time in their busy schedule to READ, as the book becomes the portal to the fun activities with their peers. Over time, your little reader will find themselves enjoying the book itself, with the meeting as an added bonus. Whether encouraging new friendships or creating a new activity for old friends, a book club will provide a social outlet with the added benefit of fostering a love of reading. When we complete a book, groups can decide to read another book together, exchange contact information for lasting friendships or continue their reading journey independently. Our goal is to make sure they are happy and associate reading with having fun.
