Why should we read joke books for kids?
There are many benefits of reading joke books with your children.
- Joke books are a great read aloud. They are interactive and create a bonding experience through laughter.
- They boost reading confidence for reluctant readers. After just a line or two of reading, they get a feel-good chuckle!
- Kids joke books have fewer words and funny illustrations that are less likely to overwhelm young readers.
- Laughter can relieve stress and soothe tensions. It has long-term positive effects on the immune system, can provide pain relief, and improves mood. (source)
