I am one of those peo­ple with a child who hates read­ing. It has been a con­stant strug­gle to get him read­ing like other chil­dren from school his age. There was an inci­dent cou­ple of weeks ago when he looked me in the eyes and said “Read­ing is bor­ing with a cap­i­tal B”. From that point, I knew I have turned my boy against the enjoy­ment of read­ing and cre­ated a prob­lem wait­ing to go off someday.

Maybe it is a fam­ily thing, because I hated read­ing when I was his age in school in San­niquel­lie City, Nimba County. It is lit­tle dif­fer­ent now since my mind has opened-up to read­ing. I have gone through a lot of excit­ing mate­ri­als and loved them and I want my boy to be part of a soci­ety that loves to read.

I was look­ing for a good read­ing mate­r­ial online and stum­bled upon Sto­ry­bird It is a great site for any par­ent or child who wants to learn to read or love read­ing good story books. The sto­ries on this site are writ­ten by aver­age peo­ple with chil­dren of their own and will­ing to share freely with oth­ers. (that’s the same prin­ci­ples of Liber­ian Geek).

You don’t have to stock up and expen­sive books for your child to learn to read, all you have to do is go to the web­site and reg­is­ter and begin enjoy­ing great story books with your child. You can also par­tic­i­pate by cre­at­ing sto­ries and shar­ing with other parents.

I hope you enjoy and thanks again for vis­it­ing Liber­ian Geek.
