Discover Nooksy’s best easy books for busy families! Make reading a fun, stress-free part of your day with short, simple stories perfect for on-the-go moments

For many families, finding time to read is hard.

For most of us, from the time our little ones wake up, to the time they settle down to go to sleep, it’s just Go! Go! Go! So it’s completely understandable that to try and squeeze one more thing into their (and our) already busy day seems almost impossible.

But here’s the thing…

Reading to our little ones is so important. 

In fact, we’ve shared 8 benefits of reading to your child every night before.

In a nutshell:

1. Reading helps you bond with your child
2. It boosts their brain development
3. It unlocks their creativity
4. Reading improves their listening skills (who doesn’t need this one?)
5. Expands their vocabulary
6. It increases their attention span
7. It teaches important life lessons
8. It helps with their social and emotional development

So if reading has all these benefits, how is it still a challenge to get to reading?

Well, the answer might be simpler than you think.

Reading doesn't have to be a long, drawn-out, or complicated process. Actually, the easier the better - for both you and your child. Young children are still developing their attention span, so it doesn't have to be reading sessions for hours at a time.

Start small, something nice and easy. Something like an Easy Book.

What’s an Easy Book?

As the name suggests, an easy book makes it easy to read to your child. Easy books are: 

• Short and simple books offer quick and easy reading and have straightforward language.
• Engaging Illustrations: Books with colourful and captivating pictures to keep children interested.
• Repetitive and Predictable Text: Books with repetitive phrases or predictable patterns to help children learn and anticipate.
• Portable: Small, lightweight books that are easy to carry around for on-the-go reading.
