Reading is an experience that offers constant news, not only because of the plot of the story. Also, by the very scene that accompanies a reading universe. While the home or the library become the literary corners par excellence during the winter, the books also come into contact with nature during the spring.
A season that is already close in time and that, therefore, can help you plan moments of reading aloud to enjoy beautiful landscapes in the company of your children. What are the benefits of children’s reading outdoors?
An experience that feeds the senses
Reading feeds the mind, imagination, heart, and thought . Nature, in turn, nourishes the senses with sensations such as the sound of the breeze and its caress on the skin.
Fun
The activities to encourage reading promote the value of this habit by making it accessible to the little ones. When a fact is perceived as an obligation, it becomes less fun.
However, when a book’s own account is framed within the unforgettable story of a special plan, the context itself adds value to a story that piques the reader’s interest in a different way.
Inspire
Those who exercise outdoor reading, in turn, inspire with this example other people who observe a new idea in that image of happiness. The book is not only a gift on an individual level , but also a shared one.
The libraries themselves value this entertainment when, with the arrival of summer, they bring books to the pool areas through a service adapted to this context.
Emotions and feelings
The emotional universe not only flows to the beat of the pages of the story, but also expands with the observation of the colors that make up the landscape that arouses the curiosity of the little ones.
Find the connection between history and place
Nature is a frequent theme in children’s books . Therefore, this reading invites us to establish different connections with what is observed in the immediate environment.
Take the reading plan beyond the home
This is one of the main benefits of this educational proposal: creating new memories around the book beyond the usual routine of time at home. Establish a connection between this habit and other experiences in the family routine. The link between the landscape and the book is not only an invitation to read more stories. The book itself becomes the perfect excuse to discover more outdoor reading corners during spring and summer.
