Personalized Books Encourage Kids To Read

Do you want your kids to read more, and do better in school? Then consider using personalized children's books to spark their interest in reading, and foster a love of books and learning.

Lakewood, CO (PRWEB) April 3, 2007 -- A new website, http://www.books-to-order.com, offers personalized children's books that encourage reading and learning in young children.

The idea is simple. When a child reads his or her name printed in the pages of a children's storybook, they become drawn into the story, and reading becomes a fun adventure, rather than a monotonous chore.

Studies have shown that reading is fundamental to the development of language skills and self-esteem in young children, but the challenge is finding books that kids want to read. This is especially true in today's media-driven society, where there are so many distractions like video games, the Internet, movies, and of course, television.

That's where personalized children's books are so valuable. The books are printed using a a special desktop publishing process that renders a beautifully illustrated, full-color book that makes each recipient student the star of his or her story.

Founder and owner of Books To Order, Kent Johnson, has made it his goal to help as many kids as possible discover the joy of reading. The company offers the books offline as well, and has provided personalized books to children in day cares and pre-schools in the Denver area since 2005.

A variety of titles are available, everything from a "First Day At School" book that takes the fear out of that first school experience, to sports and adventure books, religious books, and even a "McGruff and Me" book that teaches children valuable safety lessons.

So if you have a young one who would rather play video games than read a book, and you'd like to get them more involved in reading and learning, visit http://www.books-to-order.com and take a look at what they have to offer.
