Welcome



Hi! Welcome to the Book Corner Blog. This is a blog all about
children’s books. As children ourselves we are experts on the
subject and we want to share our knowledge with all of you.
We know that many children associate reading with school. We
hope that this can change since there are so many books out
there that are nothing to do with school but still very, very good.
On our blog we hope to introduce children and young adults to
books that they will want to read instead of ones they think
they should read.
We are also hoping to include some author interviews. We
have so many questions to ask the authors of our favorite
books. There are some books that you read and they just fill
you up with questions. We want to get answers to those
questions.
We hope that our blog will cover those topics as well as many
more. We will try to post at least once a week and we would be
overjoyed if you were to read some of them.

Reading Consistently: A Quick Guide

Well hello there :), We are gathered today to discuss something that is an amalgamation (spell check? absolutely) of two topics I find quite interesting: reading (obviously) and habit-building. Yes, yes I am a nerd. I have decided to embrace this fact today. I just find it so intriguing how some people have certain habits while some don’t. Of course, many habits are built when someone is a young child, but I think everyone has the power to build new, or change old, habits given the correct tools. So, today I am going to talk about building a reading habit. This is, in my opinion, one of the best habits you can have. It has many benefits, which I’ll do another post on, but briefly some are: increased empathy and vocabulary, better quality sleep and less stress. Just before jumping in, I want to just say: I am no expert. BUT I think I can provide valid advice on building reading habits, as I have a healthy reading habit, experience building my own habits and I have (nerdily) watched coun...

Why you don’t like reading

           Why you don’t like reading In this blogpost we are going to talk about a lot of common reasons why people don’t like reading and how to get around these problems. We know that there are so many different reasons that people don’t like reading and we are only going to cover the basic ones. Teachers Teachers are actually a huge problem when it comes to children reading. They often make their classes read books that they don’t want to read as part of their work. These books are usually classics or books that are quite complicated and very “wordy” [meaning that they have a lot of words and phrases that are uncommon or rarely used]. Not all teachers are like this, though. When I [Saoirse] was in sixth class [fifth grade] I read “Holes” by Louis Sachar. This turned out to be one of my favourite books so that ended up being a good thing. Another problem with teachers is that they rarely have very good or interesting books in their cl...
