The Importance of 10 Minutes a Day Did you know that just 10 minutes of reading a day will change your child's life? While that may seem like a big statement to make, numerous
studies have consistently shown that 10 minutes exposure to reading materials each day is all it takes to positively shape your child's future. And this doesn't just include complicated educational textsany reading materials, be it comic books, novels, picture books, recipes, magazines or the back of food packets, all count towards your child's daily reading goal. Reading any of these materials for 10 minutes a

READING EVERYDAY MATTERS
day exposes your child to more than 600,000 words in one year-interestingly, that's more than double the word exposure of a child who only reads for 5 minutes or less each day. How can you ensure that you can comfortably set aside some time each day to help your child reach their reading goal? We've put together a few reading tips to help: • Look through Book Club catalogues with your child and talk about the books you would like to read together. Discuss what you think the books might be about. • Be a reading role model and let your child see you reading for enjoyment, for news and for information in cookbooks, magazines, online etc. This way they see that reading is important for many reasons. • Assign a place in your home for your family's books to show your child that books are special and deserve an organised storage space. Fill your home with lots of reading materials. • If space allows, create a special area for your child to dedicate to reading. Make sure your child puts aside phones, tablets and any other devices that may form a distraction. • Tie books and TV/movies together. For example, read about sea life after watching a nature documentary on the ocean. Or, connect books and experiences together. For example, after a school excursion to the zoo, read books about animals.
