Get Lost In A Story: Why reading is good for you

NowThis Kids

Some people feel like reading is a chore, something we have to do for school or a job – when really it's one of the most enriching and enjoyable hobbies anyone can have! This episode of NowThis Kids, host Naomi Wadler is going to show you just how awesome reading can be.

We speak to Zoe Howlett, who with her mother Tiara Moore, created a virtual book club to motivate herself and other kids to read for just twenty minutes a day. They talk about why they started the club, and how it’s helped them enjoy reading even more.

Some people struggle with reading, and there are lots of reasons why. Correspondent Luria Freeman explains what challenges some people face, as well as the healthy benefits to snuggling up with a good book.
