Reading for the Spirited Child

Books can be wonderful resources for children. But what about kids with ADD/ADHD, who can’t seem to “settle down”? Children with ADD can also enjoy the benefits of reading.
No child wants to sit down and read through a dry book, especially a child who has trouble staying focused. Books should be able to draw in the reader and hold his attention. The vivid colors, exciting story lines, and interesting topics found in Usborne books are ideal for students diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. Struggling readers can enjoy high-interest, beginner reading level books, such as Castles. I also suggest finding a book series, such as Usborne’s Ballerina Dreams. If a child reads one book in the series, she may find the book so intriguing that she wants to read all of the books in the series!
Habitual reading can improve a child’s reading skills and attention span. Reading can be a wonderful way for all children to learn to enjoy "quiet time". Here's to reading!
