Attention parents and teachers of reluctant readers: your life (and your student or child's life) is about to get a lot easier: Finally, How to Get Your Children or Students to Read Each and Every Day, and Spark Their Own Interest in Reading... Even if They Say They're Allergic to Books
Easily inspire your students to follow their curiosity about a topic... And use the reading material already around your house to open up new possibilities for your child's love of reading... The Reluctant Reader Solution is your source for all this and more. Plus, it's guaranteed to improve your child's reading ability, or you don't pay a single penny. Keep reading to find out how you can transform the reluctant readers in your life into happy learners... starting today. From: Vicki Whiting, Founder of Kid Scoop Dear parent or teacher of a reluctant reader, You and I both know that if a baseball player wants to hit home runs, they need to practice their swing. A lot. And the same is true with reading. If you want your children or students to master reading, and eventually even enjoy it, you need to find a way for them to practice it every single day. You need to find the "teachable moments" in your child's daily life so that you can connect the written word with the world around them. Otherwise, reading will always be a boring activity for your child that's best left in school. And unfortunately, it's hard to find the teachable moments that your child will actually respond to, much less find fun and engaging. So he or she continues to avoid reading... complains when it's time to open a book... and doesn't retain much of what he learned. And we both know that poor reading skills will make it that much harder for your child to succeed in school, since every single subject requires reading of some sort. In fact, according to a 2008 study by the National Commission on Adult Literacy, "Every year, one in three young adults — more than 1.2 million people — drop out of high school." This has everything to do with literacy, and it underlines why it's so important for students to master reading early on. So how do you guide your child to discover their own love of reading? It's an important question, since their academic success — and even their ability to live a happy and productive life — depends on it. How to Transform a Reluctant Reader for LifeIt's pretty simple, actually, but too few programs do it well: find ways to make your child's "work" feel more like play. No child ever passes up an opportunity to play, do they? So when you give your child or students reading material that is fun, engaging, and liberates their curiosity for the world around them, you are opening up the doors to a lifetime of happy reading. Now, often times, finding resources that are both educational and entertaining is quite a challenge. Plus if you are looking for something that creates a bridge between the Internet (where your child WANTS to be) and the printed page (which he might not be all that keen about) it can be almost impossible. But what if there was a way to engage your child's natural interest in learning about things like animals, the body, outer space, current events they're hearing about, and more? And what if that resource was not only fun, but existed online and had a close partner in the physical world? That's exactly what we've created for you today. Announcing the Reluctant Reader SolutionThrough our over 20 years of making learning fun for students, Kid Scoop has developed a unique program to harness a child's natural interest to propel their own learning journey. Through a full year's worth of engaging content and games, both online and off, your learner will start to enjoy reading each and every day. Why? Because the Reluctant Reader Solution makes it fun. And also, as you know, kids do love to learn. You just have to give them the right equipment to light the fire of their curiosity, then you can watch the flames grow. And to fully internalize the habit of daily reading, kids need to practice, practice, practice, just like our baseball player at the beginning. The Reluctant Reader Solution was developed to make daily practice easy. And we've gotten pretty good at it, after 20 years of publishing Kid Scoop newspaper with a circulation of over 7 million copies each month in papers around the world. And we've put all that knowledge and experience into one package. Here's What You Get With the Reluctant Reader SolutionThe Reluctant Reader Solution is designed to expand your child's horizons, jump-start their curiosity about topics they didn't even know they were interested in, and exercise different areas of their brain through age-appropriate puzzles, games, stories, and much more. The Reluctant Reader Solution comes in two parts: one online and the other offline. First, online. 12 full-color issues of Kid Scoop News OnlineEach issue of Kid Scoop News Online is chock full of games, puzzles, experiments, pictures, profiles of kids in the news, and more. Each issue includes content inspired by the time of year that the issue is released, so you can have conversations with your child about topics of the day — including current events, the natural world, and special holidays. And because it's online, and "computer time" is often seen as more of a treat than "homework time," kids gravitate to the online edition strongly. The online edition also links to other helpful resources, so your child can explore interesting topics to his or her heart's content. The online edition is extremely easy to navigate on your screen, and provides an intuitive learning environment for the student. You can browse all the pages, "turn" the page with a mouse click, and zoom in with a single click. You'll also be able to listen to articles in audio format, so that if your child learns better by hearing, they can absorb the information that way and then work on the written words after, which will accelerate their learning. Here's what the Kid Scoop News Online Edition will look like on your computer:
Now for the offline component of the Reluctant Reader Solution. 365 Kid Scoop WorksheetsDesigned to engage your student's imagination and creativity, the worksheets come in set of 5, 6 or 7 pages and are our most popular offering. Filled with "pencil-grabbing activities," the worksheets serve as a bridge between the online edition and the physical world around your student. One reason the worksheets are so critical to your child's development has to do with what happens when the learning environment shifts from the computer to the physical world. The first thing to improve in your child are fine motor skills, as he or she is using a pencil to draw, trace, write, and even just doodle. Different areas of the brain are activated in writing with the hand versus pointing and clicking. It's a different way to process information, and it's just as important as the screen, if not more so, for the development of your child or student. With the Reluctant Reader Solution, you'll receive a full year's supply of worksheets so you'll never run out of fun ways for your child or student to be reading. Delivered instantly in PDF format, you can print them out a week at a time so you always have a fresh worksheet on hand!
Along the way, your child's vocabulary will develop by leaps and bounds... without the drudgery he or she might associate with learning new words in school. Why? Because the Reluctant Reader Solution sneaks learning in through the back door. The program makes learning fun with graphics, stories that illustrate the lesson, and games that focus the student's mind on the game without noticing how much he or she is actually learning. Here is just a small sample of the topics your child will be exposed to inside the Reluctant Reader Solution:
Other topics in the activity packets include:
Why the Reluctant Reader Solution Works for Nearly Every StudentIt's not because we have special powers over children's minds. No one has that, as you've found out by now. The reason the Reluctant Reader Solution is so effective is because it's based on what naturally sparks a child's curiosity. I'm sure you've noticed: kids love things that are gross, pretty, loud, small, big; they're interested in their bodies and in how things work; and they love knowing what the adults around them are speaking about. The Reluctant Reader Solution takes all those tendencies and does aikido with them, harnessing the child's natural energy and turning it into a force of learning. And because the material is delivered digitally in words and audio, and also on paper with reading, drawing, and away-from-the-paper crafts, nearly every mode of learning is covered. And as you know, when a student learns with their most dominant intelligence, the material goes in deeper and stays longer. Your students will also develop the skill of making scientific observations about the world around them. Often times a student will ask how something works or conduct an experiment, and observe the results to discover the answer. And, as a teacher, you can work the material from the Reluctant Reader Solution into your weekly lessons, so you can tie your students' "fun" activities into school work, and find happier, more eager learners in your classroom. Here's How the Reluctant Reader Solution Will Change Your LifeDiving into the Reluctant Reader Solution will not only be easy and fun for your child; we designed the program to be as easy and pain-free for you, the busy parent or teacher, to share with your child. The online edition can be a foundational part of your child's computer time. And you can also have activity sheets laying around the house in convenient places, where he or she is sure to get drawn in by the fun pictures, challenging puzzles, and interesting games. Now I'd like you to stop and think for a moment what it will be like when your student starts reading on her own, just because she wants to. Imagine what evenings will be like when the TV is off, but a book is open, and your child starts asking you what different words mean, or telling you what's happening in the story. It can happen; I've seen it countless times. And not only will your child improve her reading skills, but larger conversations could open up between you. Those conversations will open doors to continued learning for your child, so that he or she starts to become a life-long learner, and destined for success. Read What Others are Saying About Kid ScoopIn a recent survey of 40 teachers and parents who use Kid Scoop with their young ones, they mentioned the following: "It's written at my students reading level, the students enjoy the activities and puzzles, and I get ideas from the curriculum features and book recommendations." "Kid Scoop engages the students. It makes them read. It helps them work as a group for presentations, and it gets them to be interested in local news." "I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, that it just geared for kids, so ALL of the articles and pictures are age appropriate!!! It makes it FUN for the kids to pick up and read. And I love the extra activities that they can try on their own." "The paper is written to my students' level, full of variety, eye-appealing, and begins a pattern of newspaper reading." "It is appropriate for my students, and the PUZZLES!" How Much Does it Cost?Before I tell you how much the Reluctant Reader Solution costs, I'd like you to imagine for a moment what your life will be like in a little while after your child starts with the program.
I'm sure you'd agree that a situation like this would be nearly priceless. After all, you can't really put a price tag on literacy, or on a student's love of learning. And the Reluctant Reader Solution will likely deliver all this and more for you and your student. We've been honing the system over 20 years so that the articles speak a child's language (or just ahead, so he has to stretch to keep up), and grabs his interest. Everything from the graphics to the games have been designed to attract your student's attention and move them into the reading process. Now, if your student were to work with a private tutor, you'd likely spend a fair amount of money — maybe around $200 a month for the coaching, or even more. But I'm sure you'd agree it would be well worth it, because of how much your child's education would benefit. And the Reluctant Reader Solution has been known to get results that even surpass the results of working with a private tutor. But you won't have to spend hundreds of dollars a month to gain the benefits of the Reluctant Reader Solution. The Reluctant Reader Solution is only $97. That's right. Only $97 for a full year's supply of reading fun, that's guaranteed to improve your child's reading ability. That's around a quarter a day for learning material that can change your child's life forever. But I want to make sure you don't risk a penny when you purchase the Reluctant Reader Program. That's why I'm offering you my:
