Why Every Child Needs A Super Personalised Book?

How many storybooks today represent your child in a way Super Personalised Books do? 

The truth is, there is really not much, in fact, a study in 2006 suggests that only 5% of the storybooks feature black people, and in 2016-a decade later, this number only rose to 8.4%

(Children’s Books by and About People of Color, 2017). 

Moreover, the personalisation of the elements of the book appeals to be more relatable to the children. A 1996 study suggests that “personalised elements can increase children’s learning motivation, engagement and aspiration” (Cordova and Lepper, 1996). These elements of the book are the difference-makers, it catches the attention of the kids, making the book relatable, so they are more engaged to read and learn. 

Super Personalised Books engage your child in a fun reading activity that helps them get hooked on the story. Through a personalised book, your child is given the opportunity to build a healthy reading habit while they are young. A book that’s more relatable with stories that feature the child as the hero, leaves a lasting impact on the children. 

What’s In A Super Personalised Book? 

A Super Personalised Book is so much more than just a storybook, it’s an adventure, developing your imagination, and learning all at once! Each book can be customised with over 400 character variations that you can choose from, you can also choose between a paperback or a hardcover book. Create a character in the storybook that your child can relate to, regardless the race, ethnicity, and colour. 

“All children have the right to be included in books, to see faces that they can relate to on the covers, to meet characters with similar families, lives and experiences. Equally important is for children to see differences in books, to learn about those who are different from themselves, and to realise that they do, in fact, have many similarities.” (Cox, as cited by Flood, 2014)

Every child deserves to feel represented in the books that they are reading. Reading a book where they see their race being represented empowers them, it makes them feel important, significant, and included! 

On the other hand, if you are giving the book as a gift, make it feel more special and personal by adding a short but sweet dedication or a thoughtful message that will make their day. You can even add a memorable photo on the backside of the cover! 

The personalised elements in the book are what make it more relatable to the children. Children pay more attention to books that they can relate to, which makes it the best book to start building a reading habit with! Moreover, if you have a hard time making your child get into the hang of reading, a Super Personalised Book is your best option! Seeing themselves in the book and being the hero in the story keeps up their excitement in the book. Each book also has its own personalised audio version of the book that’s accessible by scanning the unique QR code at the back of the book. This feature is unique to Super Personalised Books, it’s specially designed to help reluctant readers get a hang of reading!
