Fun Reading with Priddy Books

Have you ever found it difficult to convince your child into reading a book when they can't seem to keep their hands off their toys? As children, especially very young ones, tend to have short attention spans, it is necessary to provide them with books that are fun, interesting and appealing to the eye.

Priddy have specially designed different books that can easily catch young kids’ attention. Not only are all their books loaded with colourful illustrations, many of them are also special in the way they use real pictures instead, which makes it much easier for young children to understand new words and concepts. With books ranging from baby board books to touch-and-feel and wipe-clean books, children are provided with a great variety of fun choices that are not only interesting to read, but very effective for learning new words and acquiring reading skills as well.

An important lesson for my children



Tonight, I was reading "High Flier, The Story of Amy Johnson" to my children. The story is about how Amy Johnson, amid the strong view that women were not as capable as men, became a pilot and tried to break the records for long flights around the world in 1930.

Amy Johnson resisted the norm about what a woman should or shouldn't do and challenged her own ability. I was particularly touched to learn that Amy could accomplish her goal partly because she had always had the strongest support from her father. Ceasing the opportunity, I asked Hillary and Alexis on whether they thought there is any gap between the capability of boys and girls, I could not be more delighted when I heard them both shouted firmly, "No!"

In a society where traditional thinking with biased ideas are still finding ways to creep into our children's mind, I am resolute to act fast and teach them to THINK and to make sound judgment.
