You WANT your kids to catch the reading bug!
From the time our kids were wee babies we were reading them books like Aesop's Fables for Children. While it's the hope they catch the reading bug early we can only hope that the spark will be lit as a baby and burn bright throughout their lives.
We have found specific books and websites that can help you help your kids with their reading quests.

How TO catch the reading bug!
Fostering the love for reading is paramount!
1. It teaches kids to dream
2. Broadens their horizons
3. Keeps their brains sharp as a tack!
Our resident Buzzing Kids World-ite caught the reading bug with The Twilight Saga. She loaned the books to her friends and darned if they didn't catch the reading bug, too. When you or your kids select a book for them to read, just be sure it is age appropriate and keeps their level of interest high in anticipation of more to come!
Note: The
Twilight series is appropriate for ages 12+, but boy what a series to get them started on reading!
Ways to encourage reading
For younger children you can encourage them by hanging a window box near their bed and filling it with great books. Put the "
reading is fun!" poster on their wall. Carve out the last 30 minutes before bedtime to read to them or let them read to you. Turn off the TV and music, lie in bed, and dive into stories and make believe.
Some kids might catch the reading bug with comic books and Anime Cartoons (all based on fantasies, we might add!). Buzzing Kids World has categories of
Anime Cartoons and we add more pages on a regular basis. We have recently added the more romantic Fruits Basket and adventurous Naruto. Also, Figure 17, Castle In The Sky, and Mage. Others are in the works.
Check our other pages on Buzzing Kids World for new lists of kid-safe books like our TopTen
Books for Kids! You may find the book
reviews written by teens helpful, too. Thanks for visiting our "reading room" ... so to speak.
