Read a Book Day
After a nice break over the bank holiday earlier this week, we look forward to celebrating National Read a Book Day. The day is celebrated annually on the 6th September. Its main goal is to encourage people of all ages to get into reading. Whether you’re reading on the sofa chilling and relaxing on a peaceful Sunday afternoon or reading your children a story at bedtime, reading a book has many positive effects, including stress relief, improving vocabulary and enhancing concentration to name just a few.
For children, it is highly recommended by experts to have your children read books daily to develop their reading capabilities. A common misconception is that books are too long and there isn’t enough time in the day to read a book. But it is proven that only fifteen to twenty minutes of reading a day is needed to help improve your child’s reading. So, is it really that time consuming?
Here at Pegasus, we have an abundance of books on offer which will not only grab the attention of your children but pique their interest in reading too. Below are a few examples of books that have been published, including some of our newest titles, to help children progress in reading.
Out in the garden what can you see? Come outside and explore with me.
Let yourself be guided on a journey through the garden, learning about all of the animals you meet along the way! From Aadil the ant to Zai the zebra caterpillar, there are twenty-six creatures to discover - one for every letter of the alphabet.
What would you do if you saw someone being bullied? What does kindness mean to you? How do you feel when you help someone else?
One Kind Day is a relatable and interactive book which shows the many ways we can be kinder to each other, and to ourselves.
The inclusion of kindness cards makes this book a little more special - helping children to understand what kindness is and how it is easy (and fun) to pay it forward.
This is a story about a spoilt king who decided one day to get rid of his cook, who made the most delicious soups, and try new cooks, new soups, new recipes. . . But they were not what he expected. . .

He looks to his other horse friends for answers; such as Rocket, the race horse, James, the hunting horse and Fred, who pulls a plough for a living. Fate lends a hand and the other horses all realize what Pendle should do before even he does and life as a police horse beckons.
