Building Literacy Skills with a Passion for West Ham United
Building strong literacy skills is essential for academic success, and fostering a love of reading can make all the difference. For children who may not naturally gravitate toward books, personalised stories serve as a powerful motivator. Our personalised West Ham United books bring reading to life by placing your child at the heart of the action, right alongside their football heroes at the London Stadium.
Personalised Reading Boosts Engagement
Research shows that children are more likely to engage with books when the content feels relevant and exciting. By starring in their own football adventure, children are motivated to read more frequently and with greater enthusiasm, improving comprehension, vocabulary, and overall literacy skills.
Tips for Encouraging Reading at Home
-
Make Reading a Daily Habit – Set aside dedicated time each day for reading, whether it’s at bedtime or during a quiet afternoon.
-
Let Your Child Choose – Empower your child by letting them pick books that excite them. Personalised stories help them feel connected to the plot, boosting their interest in reading.
-
Discuss the Story – Engage by asking questions about the book, like their favourite part or how they felt when their character scored a goal. This enhances comprehension and makes reading more interactive.
Fun Activity: Football-Themed Storytime
Create a football-themed reading nook with cosy cushions, West Ham United jerseys, and a few football props. Read the West Ham United book together, using different voices for the characters to make it even more engaging. This personalised experience can inspire a lasting love of reading!
