Tristar Reads

Your Words Have Power!

This week, we are discussing how impactful words can be. Keep reading for this week’s Superhero Challenge and to how to use your superhero powers with Tristar Reads this summer! 

Be a Superhero With Your Words

Superheroes are often known by not only the capes they wear, but the positive words they share with others. Many superheroes are recognized by their voices or slogans. It’s important that when we use our voices, we use our superhero powers to speak encouraging and impactful words to others.

Learn from the words of some inspiring literary heroes below:

Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.”  
-Maya Angelou

We need to tell kids flat out: reading is not optional.
-Walter Dean Myers

Reading should not be presented to children as a chore or duty. It should be offered to them as a precious gift.
-Kate Dicamillo

“If my books can help children become readers, then I feel I have accomplished something important.”     
-Roald Dahl

I believe we should spend less time worrying about the quantity of books children read and more time introducing them to quality books that will turn them on to the joy of reading and turn them into lifelong readers.
-James Patterson

Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won’t have as much censorship because we won’t have as much fear.”     
-Judy Blume
