This is excellent, because reading is proven to be healthy \u2013 a good book is like medicine. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geo.de\/wissen\/gesundheit\/17562-rtkl-literatur-wer-viel-liest-lebt-laenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study by Yale University<\/a> shows that regular reading can prolong life. Why is that? Regular reading stimulates the brain cells and thus trains cognitive abilities and concentration. It stimulates the imagination, helps to relax and thus reduces stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, reading does not only have positive effects \u2013 except that it is fun \u2013 for adults. Reading and also listening to a book is extremely important for the development of children. Children who are regularly read to not only have a larger vocabulary, but also on average have better grades and have more fun with texts. This in turn leads to more self-confidence for many children. Unfortunately, one third of all parents in Germany rarely or never read aloud to their children (aged between two and eight years). This makes it especially nice when children are introduced to reading in other ways, be it in kindergarten, primary school or through other programmes run by social organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a bookworm yourself, you know how enriching reading can be \u2013 no matter how old you are or what experiences you have had in life. Because for every age, every situation in life and every interest there is the right book. Just in time for the <strong>International Book Lover&#8217;s Day<\/strong>, we present 5 projects through which you can share and pass on your enthusiasm for reading to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots advgb-dyn-4cf5c227\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large advgb-dyn-d3c83d73\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Vorlesen-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Vorlesen-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Vorlesen-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Vorlesen-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Vorlesen-816x408.jpg 816w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Vorlesen-400x200.jpg 400w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Vorlesen.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Source<\/strong>: <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/de-de\/foto\/baby-buch-drinnen-elternteil-1741231\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pexel<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-accent-color has-text-color advgb-dyn-da915159\" id=\"h-1-reading-aloud-for-children-in-neukolln\">1 |  READING ALOUD FOR CHILDREN IN NEUK\u00d6LLN<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-dark-gray-color has-text-color advgb-dyn-db8a053d\" id=\"h-berlin-neukolln\">BERLIN NEUK\u00d6LLN<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Helping children who do not have access to books and imaginative stories in their everyday lives to start reading.
