RAISE READING RATES
READING RATES MATTER

Reading programs measure such reading rates as how much people are reading, how quickly and completely they are reading, and their preferences as to genre, target age and subject classification. Without reading practice, children fail to become reading adults. Reading is a learned activity. Reading rates matter for children, but adults must learn how to make reading fun, or it won't happen.

Articles in this website discuss why reading rates matter for children and their continuing education. When adults introduce fun reading into their home, they help raise reading rates at home, at school, at work and in the community. Reading rates matter for children and adults. As reading rates grow, knowledge, comprehension, logic, language skill and opportunities improve.

Reading Rates continues to add new dimensions to this website, thanks to purchasers of V. R. Duin children's books through Amazon or from book stores. These books help parents make reading fun and raise reading rates at home.

Children's reading rates continue to drop. As children disengage from school reading programs, adults must encourage children to raise reading rates at home. Regularly updated monthly articles on this website don't merely prove that reading is important for life skills. They show how to make reading fun for adults and children, so a strong learning base may be developed during home activities.

A lot can be done at home to offset the age-based, biased selection of books in schools. Instead of buying boring books at Book Fair, many children bring home high volume of non-book items. This website teaches the importance of reading for everyone. Building a library of creative reading materials helps raise reading rates at home. Reading creates a solid foundation for all future skills.

Reading Rates is grateful to purchasers of V. R. Duin children's books. These adults use these books for reading pleasure and to learn interesting new information with their children. They help build a society of book lovers, lifetime readers and career learners.

When adults recognize that reading rates matter for children, they learn how to make reading fun. Kids want to do fun things, so no further prompting is required to raise reading rates at home. As children's reading rates rise, critical analysis is awakened. By reading with children, adults gain a better understanding of children's potential and learn of any obstacles to be overcome.

Unfortunately, only about one-half of students in the United States now read at their age-based level. The monthly articles on this website discuss reading practice and reading programs that can help raise reading rates at home. When adults learn how to make reading fun, children's reading rates soar. Reading rates matter for successful outcomes in the learning of every subject.

We thank readers of this website for purchasing V. R. Duin children's books. This support helps offset expensive site administration costs, keeps this reading mission growing, and disrupts the power of the 1%'s star factory.
