“Students benefit greatly from a regular reading routine that involves at least 30 minutes of daily reading,” Parrasch says. “Ideally, students should be reading a variety of genres — or at the very least, a mix of fiction and nonfiction.

Surround your child with nonfiction and fact-based reading material.

In 4th grade especially, students experience a pivot from building the knowledge to read to reading for knowledge. This is largely due to the introduction of more nonfiction and historical fiction in the classroom, and to students’ increased ability to search for answers in text and connect events. “Students read a lot more nonfiction in 4th grade than they ever have before,” says Kelly Matthews, a 4th grade teacher in Colorado. “Students are also expected to read at a much higher level when they leave 4th grade versus when they enter. It’s a big transition time for reading. They come in learning to read and leave reading to learn.” Fill your home with knowledge-based reading materials to sate your child’s burgeoning curiosity in historical events, popular figures, and current events.

Engage with books in front of your child.

Being a reading role model is essential for maintaining your child’s reading engagement. Read books with or in front of your child and they’ll see that you view the activity as fun and important. “Show kids how important reading is to you,” says Matthews. “Read books on your own and with your child. If a parent shows interest in reading with a child, and not just when they are very little, the child is more likely to have a strong positive feeling about reading in general.”

Acknowledge their growing independence — but ensure it includes a reading routine.

By age 10, your child will have significantly more independence, both as a reader and a young adult. “In earlier grades there is much more 'hand-holding,’” says Parrasch. “At this age, students are pushed to begin to advocate more and more for the things that help them to learn and be successful. Students are getting closer to middle school, and they need to have the independence and responsibility needed to succeed there.” To help nurture your child’s independence but maintain structure in their daily lives, create a reading routine that suits their busy schedule. “Students benefit greatly from a regular reading routine that involves at least 30 minutes of daily reading,” Parrasch says. “Ideally, students should be reading a variety of genres — or at the very least, a mix of fiction and nonfiction. Standardized tests often ask students to engage with many genres and reflect on their comprehension.” Scholastic Executive Editor Amanda Maciel recommends book series for children in this age group. Series are perfect for reluctant readers or readers whose engagement with books could be more consistent. “This is the sweet spot for series, and for big ideas,” Maciel says. She recommends the Wings of Fire series by Tui T. Sutherland, which combines a fantasy setting with strong characters and humor, and the Front Desk books by Kelly Yang — an award-winning series that explores the day-to-day lives of 10-year-old Mia and her immigrant parents who manage the Calivista Motel. “Both series tackle social justice in a variety of ways — perfect for readers who are developing a sense of themselves and the world around them,” Maciel says. It may take some experimenting with the first book in a series to find the right one for your child, but once they finish one they love, they’ll want to continue reading to see what happens next.

No one reads books anymore – really? For some reason, people love saying this – a lot! But is it true? A recent Pew survey found that nearly three quarters of Americans, or 74%, consumed at least one book in 2017. Print still remains the most popular format with 67% of Americans claiming to have read at least one print book in the last year. So, what’s changed? Well, people are now consuming books in different ways, because they have more options. We’re reading eBooks and listening to audiobooks more than we used to. Is this really so surprising? People are busy, but they still love to read. Daily readers know that reading makes them feel good and they enjoy getting lost in a good story. Most of us don’t really need an excuse to pick up a book. But if you’re looking for reasons to feel good about reading or simply want to find ways to spread the good word about how it’s essential to our overall well-being – we have some facts you’ll enjoy.
