In today’s fast paced, technology driven life its a sad thing to notice that many children do not know the pleasure of reading a good book. Reading is slowly becoming only something you have to do in school and not something you want to do every chance you get. The instant gratification of a movie seems to be appealing that reading a book for a week. But as any true lover of reading knows; the book is always better than the movie.

Here are a few tips to help you start a book club for children.
-
Start small and don’t be concerned with numbers. A small group of children who are interested in reading is all you need.
-
Provide a variety of genres. Let them read what they want to read and not what you want them to read.
-
Don’t underestimate their reading level. You’ll be surprised at how advanced a child’s reading level can be when they want to read.
-
Make the meetings fun and ‘cool’. Don’t make them reminiscent of school.
-
Set reading goals and stick to them.
