Jayne Henry March 5, 2020 Registrations World Book Day 2020 – Speedyreg World Book Day was invented by UNESCO back in 1995, with the aim of bringing the love of reading to children worldwide in a huge celebration of books. Getting kids interested in reading is so important. Reading of course is an essential skill, and kids that read well at a young age are likely to perform well throughout their school years. But also, reading is very good for the mind. When you are able to escape into a good book, you can forget your troubles, you can have an adventure, you can be somewhere else in an instance. Reading is good for our mental health Stress is an increasingly common problem with children, and reading can be a good coping mechanism, a distraction from the worry of that dreaded maths lesson in the morning, or simply a place to escape to when we’re having a bad day. A love of books is something we carry with us all our life so if your children aren’t big readers, take this opportunity to start them on the journey into a million other worlds with some good books. Which book will your kids choose? School kids will be getting a token from their schools to swap either for one of the 12 special world book day books, or as a £1 discount on any book priced at £2.99 or over.
