Bookcases Do Encourage Children To Read

Most parents will agree that children need storage space for their belongings. This is especially true for their reading books. Everyone knows that books are special and each child certainly has their favorite stories that are read night after night. By having a special spot for the books you're showing how important they are. That's why bookcases are fantastic pieces of furniture for a bedroom or playroom. Children love having a special spot to store their stuff.



First, out of common sense, kids can't reach the higher shelves, and if they do, they could dangerously get hurt by the bookcase falling over or from books falling off the shelf landing on the floor. Certainly, you want to stay away from this, for the reason that we want to keep kids safe and out of harms way.
Purchase bookcases that are designed specifically with a child in mind and most manufacturers address safety concerns during the design process. One big issue is the height of the bookcase and for this reason alone, young children should have access to bookcases that are made for them.


While it is true they come in all sorts of sizes, themes, and colors look for bookcases that are low to ground. Children love to climb on the furniture, coaches and climbing up the shelves on a tall bookcase is no exception. Play it safe, if you have a tall bookcase in the family room, living room, or a bedroom, make sure you bolt the bookcase to the wall. Hardware is available in the stores; just make sure you ask for help so you purchase the appropriate nuts, bolts and fasteners.
 

 

By showing children that books are very special with a good bookcase walls, because the story lines can be magical, mysterious, and humorous they deserve some loving care and admiration. This is a clear message you send the kids, that reading and having their own specials books is a wonderful experience to enjoy for years to come. Books are special so give the books a special bookshelf! Reading should be encouraged at all ages and is very important in a child's development. Filling the bookcase with many books allows for independent reading because the child is then free to pick a favorite hardback or paperback of their choice.
Some of the nicest styles on the market today are like the book displays used in the library and classrooms.

One fantastic model is made by the brand of Guidecraft and the 4 sided library display which is accessible to all children because the shelves are adjustable in height. It even has casters so it can easily be moved around the house. Another great design is the canvas bookcase by KidKraft which is low to the ground and light weight with pockets for storing books. By teaching children to take care of their beloved books and encouraging those to carefully put them away they learn other skills, such as organization and responsibility.
As parents we know that sometimes we have to get children energized when it comes to reading. All too often, sometimes is it just not an easy task to accomplish, but the bookcases that actually display the books really makes story time a lot more fun.
