Child Activity Books Help Foster A Love Of Learning

By Kent Johnson

If you want your pre-school kids to read and learn more, you need to get them involved with child activity books of some kind. This type of children’s book engages the child directly, and causes them to be involved and concentrate more on what they’re reading.

Personalized books work great as child activity books, in that the child’s name is printed right on the pages of the book, along with his or her age, hometown, and several of their friends. The child is drawn into the story, and reads on in amazement as they find themselves participating in the storyline in some way. Suddenly reading is a fun, exciting adventure, and the youngster can’t wait to finish the book and see how the story ends.

At Books To Order, we offer a variety of personalized children’s books written around a wide array of topics. If education is what you’re looking for, we have half a dozen different titles that serve well as child activity books. Our Sesame Street line of books, for example, actively engage the child in learning to count or learning the alphabet. Young children love these books, especially when they find their own name printed alongside their favorite Sesame Street characters.

Our “School Is Fun” book also makes a great child activity book. In this book, the child rides the bus to school, where he or she helps to solve several mysteries, including what is causing a strange noise in one of the hallway lockers. Children learn that school can be fun and exciting, and something to be looked forward too, not dreaded.

Studies have shown that children learn much better when they’re actively engaged in the process. As every parent knows, pre-schoolers often have short attention spans, which is one reason that child activity books can be more effective than regular books in keeping your child’s attention. And once a child develops a love of reading, and learning–-especially at an early age–they usually keep that love and curiosity well into their adult years.

So the next time you’re shopping for a child activity book for your pre-schooler, consider a personalized book from Books To Order. These books are rugged, quality hardbound books with washable covers and are built to last. In fact, many adults have personalized books that whey were given as pre-schoolers, and they consider them treasured keepsakes that bring back fond memories of a time when life was an innocent, exciting adventure.
