Why 20 minutes?⁠
⁠
Kids who read at least 20 minutes a day are exposed to almost 2 MILLION words per year.⁠
⁠
That's right. According to Every Child Reads, kids who read for only 5 minutes a day will hear only 282,000 words per year. ⁠
⁠
That's a BIG difference... and that's not all. ⁠
⁠
Studies show that kids who engage in reading 20 minutes a day are likely to score better than 90% of their peers on standardized tests. ⁠
⁠
So, here's your friendly reminder to make sure your child reads today! ⁠

According to the National Literacy Trust, exposing kids to e-books could increase the average reading level... by up to 8.4 months!⁠
⁠
Their study showed that e-books improve kids’ reading comprehension - and confidence.⁠
⁠
28% of boys thought reading was difficult at the beginning of the study. At the end? ONLY 15.9%!⁠
⁠
Furthermore, the percentage of children involved in the study who enjoyed reading books on paper jumped from 10% to 40%...⁠
⁠
We all love a good physical book, but eBooks could be a key to help children everywhere read, better!⁠

Why is it important to let kids... FAIL?⁠
⁠
🤯 WHAT? Keep reading...⁠
⁠
Failure is inevitable. No matter how long you protect your child, failure can (and will) happen at some point.⁠
⁠
Like most unpleasant things in life, there are lessons to be learned from failure. Here are 3️⃣ ways failure can be a positive thing in your child’s life.⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Failure builds resilience: According to Michael Jordan, failure is a vital part of life because it builds perseverance and resilience. Having a comfortable relationship with failure will teach kids to keep trying until they succeed. ⁠
⁠
2️⃣ Failure can relieve pressure:⁠
Kids are under more pressure than ever before. If kids do not consider failure as an option, they may become overwhelmed with anxiety.⁠
⁠
3️⃣ Failure boosts creativity⁠
Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the lightbulb. The ability to learn from failure and be comfortable with trial and error can help you throughout life.⁠

What a powerful message, right?⁠

Kobe Bryant once recalled during an interview a lesson that Elon Musk taught him. Elon said if you don’t have an imagination to take all that you learned to the next level, it means nothing. ⁠
