@IslamRizza @_IntellectPower @PeacePads I take issue with this perspective. All the people I know can read on or above level.

@IslamRizza @_IntellectPower @PeacePads The combination of lazy parenting, social media and George Bush’s No Child Left Behind program is the cause of this perfect storm.

@IslamRizza @_IntellectPower @PeacePads But kids that associate as trans is going through the roof.. 🤔 Time to take back education & that means black people empowering themselves by not blindly trusting that their local democratic politicians care about what’s best for them or their kids.

Welp, this is a trend: most Americans aren't reading even a single book for leisure in a year. The trend in reading for leisure on a given day (down 12 pt since '04) or reading a book in a year (down to 49%) is clear. Meanwhile, video game/computer use is up by 97% since 2003.

"It's not enough to read a book to your kid and then sit there looking at your phone. Your kid is going to want to look at a phone if that's what you're doing... children have to see you reading books." Acclaimed novelist Ann Patchett tells me why she's "evangelical" about the importance of reading and protecting books. "Book banning is a terrible thing. And it's an extraordinary waste of time... it takes up the energy that we need to make children safe from guns."

You live in your own heads with the same thoughts on a loop. Reading takes you out of the mode and into the worlds of others. What’s been your favorite book you read this year? ⬇️

There’s something new on every page! I’ve written often about reading with your baby, noting that - at the very earliest stages - it’s okay to start small (a minute or less) and not to get too discouraged if your baby spends more time attending to your face than the book itself… Or even expresses greater interest in chewing on a board book than reading it. But today let’s see the flip side of this coin! I couldn’t help but be taken by just how engaged this little guy is with the book dad is sharing - his eyes wide and laser focused and his face lighting up with delight over the surprises revealed on every page. (Accentuated, of course, by his father’s melodic and enthusiastic narration.) It’s not where all children begin (so, again, don’t be discouraged if your baby doesn’t react with the same initial interest and enthusiasm) but it sure is fun to see. And rest assured that with age and exposure, your baby will get there too! Read, read, read with your baby. This lovely example was shared to FB by Baby Love.

What’s the single most powerful predictor of a child’s cognitive, social, and emotional development? According to Andreas Schleicher, Director for Education and Skills at the OECD, it’s not test prep, expensive tutors, or the latest app. It’s parents reading with and to their children. In this clip from our conversation, Andreas explains why those few minutes a day with a book in your lap and a child by your side can change their whole future. 🎧 Watch/listen now and be inspired to pick up a book with your kid tonight. #ReadingWithYourKids #ReadTogetherGrowTogether #familyreadingtimeg #parentinggTips #EarlyLiteracy #KidsAndBooks #ReadAloud

Over the past 5 years, CWE Lao has been doing something simple in Laos — bringing books closer Through the "Lancang-Mekong Book House" Project, 2 reading rooms were built, and over 10,000 books reached 5 local schools. A book opens a story, and we hope more children discover and enjoy reading.
