There is so much goodness in reading good books! They greatly aid parents, grandparents, guardians, and teachers, making their job of raising good children much easier. But beware of books (and media) that are not good. They will do the opposite, undermining your noble efforts.

But how do busy adults caring for children have time to read enough books to pick out the good ones and throw out the bad? Almost all don’t. That’s where we come in. Through the Good Books Club, SMK Media LLC will be your curator, selecting age-appropriate ‘good books’ for you to enjoy with your young ones.

We are thrilled to participate in this humanizing project that brings you time-tested, character-building stories! Live vicariously through the main characters, learning what they learn (both good and bad) by their choices. Wisdom gained without the pain!

Enhance the Experience and Benefit by Reading Out Loud or Listening to the Audiobook

Reading out loud to your child creates a beautiful, bonding experience. They feel loved as you sit close, give them your attention, and share the journey through the storyline. Having older children share the duty of reading aloud will help them develop in many positive ways.

For times when neither parent nor child can read out loud (when driving, for instance, or when preparing a meal), the audiobook can be listened to and your child can follow along in the book. Compared to watching videos and playing video games, reading while listening (without excessive stimulus) does wonders for your child’s human development.
