Burlington, NC - March 14, 2007 - Reading is a foundational skill no
one can afford to be without. Unfortunately, studies show that nearly
a third of adults in America are either marginally or functionally
illiterate. That's why helping young children develop a love for
reading has become the main goal for Deloris Seymore-Reyes, a Michigan
native who recently started a full-time business offering personalized
children's books.
With personalized children's books, parents are able to win the fight
against illiteracy by encouraging their child to read in an unusual
way. Personalized children's books are unique books that incorporate
the child's name into the story. When children open the books and
begin reading, they realize from that moment that they are the star of
the book. They are amazed when they see their own name in print
alongside their favorite characters.
Seeing that they are one of the main characters of the book helps to
build the child's self esteem and reading confidence. They can
actually fight the bad guys with Spiderman (TM) or attend a ballroom
dance or ballet with royalty in the "Ballerina Princess."
"As a child imagines himself playing the part in the book, he will be
anxious to continue reading, and his reading skills will improve,"
states Seymore-Reyes.
Learning to read skillfully at an early age is the key to long-term
reading success. A recent study by the National Institutes of Health
showed that 67 percent of students that were at-risk for reading
difficulties became average or above-average readers when they
received help during early school years.
Personalized children's books help to build these skills early on
without pressure. Parents are finding them to be great summer-time
books to enhance reading skills while school is out as well as great
bedtime books. The books help children to develop a positive outlook
on life and look forward to reaching future goals. Parents also enjoy
saving the books as keepsakes once the child has grown.
Seymore-Reyes is a former 15-year employee of Ford Motor Company. She
began making children's books part-time 10 years ago. She decided to
take an early retirement package at Ford Motor Company to begin
selling personalized children's books on a full-time basis and to
spend quality time with her son. Her Web site at read2children.net
offers a variety of personalized book categories to fit all
personalities, including holiday books, classics, sports, adventure,
African-American, and others.
"I enjoy seeing children smile when they read their own name in the
book and realize they can be the star of a book. Children feel they
can really be somebody and will often continue to build their skills
for a lifetime," states Seymore-Reyes.
