One of the most interesting things to witness is the difference in children now versus children 20 years ago. When we were kids, we played outside, spent time with our friends and read books. Today, kids are more inclined to sit on the couch playing video games. And what happened to the books, the ones that aren’t on a tablet? Well, they’ve become nearly obsolete. Notice I said, “nearly obsolete” because it depends on US!!! We as parents, educators, Tío’s and Tía’s need to shift our way of thinking and bring back that LOVE for Libros!!!
It’s time to bring books, stories, and characters back from the past. Imagine if for every video game played, a child instead read a short story. SunnyD is proud to support children, teachers and parents across the country with the SunnyD Book Spree. This is why I support them as an educator! The campaign has donated over $6 million in books since it was launched in 2009. It’s the perfect way to bring more books and more opportunity into the classrooms of our future generation. And it’s our responsibility to put it in front of our kids.
Let’s make our classrooms richer in literacy and get our children EXCITED about reading again. Reading a book is opening up the imagination of children– allowing them to apply those reading skills and dig deeper into a book! Together we can accomplish this alongside #SunnyDLatino ! I believe in them, in you and in OUR CHILDREN!!!
Please join Latina Mom Bloggers and SunnyD on Thursday, November 6th 8:00 pm ET/5:00 pm PT. We’ll be sharing tips on how to get kids out from underneath the blanket of the games world and back into the pages of books.
