Read to your children for fun

As a youngster, my parents were always reading. They read stories out loud to me and to each other. Out of of 20 'high income' countries, the US is 12th on literacy tests. Lobbyists bribe politicians to spend on everything except education. In some states, they spend more on prisons than on schools. You can help reverse this trend by reading to each other. Read to your children. Read to your spouse. Read with gusto. Read with excitement. Read to spark debate. After all, if your children don't see you enjoy reading, why should they want to do it?

@06:00Great message! I'm very glad that my parents, who had so-so education, were able to read to me as a young child. Illiteracy leads to ignorance and ignorance leads to close mindedness. Being able to... for example, read the daily newspaper is the cherry on top of the cake for children. It builds reading skills very early on, and allows for social understanding in both personal affairs and world wide affairs! So many Americans are falling in academic success and it's hurting the country. It's very sad, truly. I learned about our non geocentric universe a long time ago in 4th grade! And not only are people ignorant of sciences, they are ignorant of the world around them. They think that all Arabs are bad, that Other countries are 'out to get them'.etc. I really do believe that we need to teach children this at younger ages, and expose them to these topics. And Reading skills is the first step to understanding.

@06:00P.S.
:iconrudeboyskunkplz::iconrudeboyskunkplz2::iconrudeboyskunkplz3: on Read to your children and friends. It's encouraging that you faved this piece. Judging by the very light response, reading in the USA is hardly valued. [link]

@06:00Many Americans are actually PROUD of their ignorance. It totally boggles the mind to face this attitude.

@04:56That is embarrassing! But, the thing is too... So many immigrants are coming to america, and they don't speak any English... that's another thing that's bringing down the literacy in schools. Lots of kids in my classes, don't want to learn English, and they use the excuse "I didn't want to come here, my parents did." That as well has been a major hit to our school system. The whole 'no child left behind'. Students need to get focused, and start kicking butt in school, or else America is going to keep going down hill. :(

I am very Liberal in my political thinking. However, when it comes to immigration, I am for building a wall at our border much like the wall between Israel and Palestine. We should bring home our troops from Europe, Asia and the Middle East and have them patrol our borders instead. We need to have people here who respect English.
