Founders of Bookzle and parents to two boys, Brandon and Natalie Shaw have discovered the major importance of reading aloud to children daily and they have developed a monthly children's book subscription that will help parents foster developmental improvement and literacy in their own children. Bookzle is not merely a “book club” for children; it is the first of its kind to combine a monthly book
subscription with support for parents and developmental progress tracking. Bookzle was formed after the Shaw's learned news about their second-born child's rare genetic disorder, which affects his hearing and requires him to use hearing aids. Attempting to keep their son on track developmentally, the couple incorporated daily reading into their routine. Seeing much improvement, they researched the importance of reading aloud to children. Some studies have shown that being read to daily can put a child almost a full year ahead of other children who are not being read to. There are thousands and thousands of children's books available in book stores and libraries. It may be overwhelming for parents to choose ones that are written for their child's developmental level and that catch the interest of the child. Bookzle's founding team brought on an expert in the field of early childhood education, Lori Ruth, who has a master's degree in early childhood special education and over 20 years of experience. The team takes great care in selecting specific books for each child, which are targeted at the child's specific age, down to the month. The book selection delivered to the subscribers can be cherished for years to come. Children can return back to their favorite old stories over and over again, directly from their own library, made possible by Bookzle. Each month, a cute Bookzle box is delivered to a child with a subscription. It includes three carefully selected books, a parent guide, a reading chart and a goal prize. The guides are outlined by the company's specialist and are prepared for each child's specific age. It allows parents to track developmental goals, evaluate growth and set new goals—the end product is a tool that helps lead parents and children on the path to school readiness. The reading chart offers children a fun way to see their progress and it builds their confidence. Included in the package is a wrapped reward—the goal prize—which can be opened by the child after he or she reaches a reading goal. This excites the participant while providing another tool for developmental growth.

Our little Kenton had a birthday! This is a melt your heart kind of kid. We are so lucky to have him. I can't help but reflect on what a positive force for good he has been in this world at the ripe old age of two.😉 His hearing loss tossed us into the deep end of fear and the unknown but he has been a light for us and has transformed our lives for the better. We created bookzle to be that light for other parents. Life can be full of fear and the unknown but helping your child develop into their best selves doesn't have to be. There is so much power in reading, in helping them reach their developmental goals. So keep reading aloud, singing, and talking with your little ones. And as for Kenton, happy birthday little man. We sure love you.
Three is the bees knees! 🐝 The age of three is a perfect time to start working on your little ones phonological awareness. Start with low-pressure rhyming and word games. "Does three rhyme with knee?" Happy reading!

Fantastic article on the importance of reading aloud!
"According to the American Association of Pediatrics, what kids are learning are crucial early literacy and language skills — the building blocks of development. These skills are so important the AAP officially recommended reading to children from birth and said that doing so is as important as breast-feeding and getting vaccinations to ensure children get the best start in life."

Science tells us that reading to children from birth gives them the building blocks for healthy brain development and language skills, but the hidden power of storytime is what it can do to strengthen
Have you ever found your little one pretending to vacuum or making their very own four course meal while you prepare dinner? You are watching imitative play! Between ages two and three children start to imitate the parents or adults in their lives. It's their own little way of outwardly recognizing you. Aww! Your two year old may find this veggie and knife cutting set in your next bookzle box to help cultivate imitative play. 🍎🍐🍋

The Bookzle story starts with Kenton’s story. Shortly after Kenton was born we found out that he had a rare genetic disorder that affected his hearing, requiring him to use hearing aids. As part of his treatment, and in an effort to help him stay on track developmentally, we learned about the power and impact of daily reading, for him, and all children. We were shocked! We knew that reading aloud to our kids was a good thing to do, but we had no idea just how critical it was to their literacy and cognitive development. We knew we had to spread the word!
We just launched on Kickstarter, purchase for your child or as a gift. Please support us and help us make our goal!

When we found out our son Kenton was born with hearing loss and needed hearing aids, a LOT changed in our lives. Throughout that journey (ongoing) we developed a HUGE passion for early childhood development. Our perspective was so profoundly changed, that we knew we had to share that with the world. We knew we could make a real difference for parents and their children!
Bookzle is not merely a book subscription for children; it is the first of its kind to combine age specific books with support for parents and developmental progress tracking. Reading has changed our lives and we hope to help other parents do the same for their children.
