The 8 to 11 Age Group: A Golden Age of Reading


The years between 8 and 11 are a golden age of reading. Kids in this age group are eager to explore new worlds and learn new things, and they are able to handle more complex plots and characters than younger children.

There are so many great books out there for this age group, it can be hard to know where to start. Here are a few of my recommendations:

  • The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch: This classic story is a must-read for any child. It tells the story of a princess who saves the prince from a dragon. The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch
  • The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend by Johnathan Safran Foer: This heartwarming story is about a boy who creates an imaginary friend named Beekle. Beekle comes to life and the two of them have many adventures together. The Adventures of Beekle
  • The Wonderful Things You Will Be by Emily Winfield Martin: This beautiful book of illustrations and poems is a celebration of childhood and the possibilities that lie ahead. The Wonderful Things You Will Be by Emily Winfield Martin
  • The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy: This charming book is about the friendship between a boy, a mole, a fox, and a horse. It is a book about kindness, courage, and the importance of finding your place in the world. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy:
  • The Wondrous Flight of the Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: This classic story is about a pilot who crashes in the desert and meets a little prince from another planet. It is a story about friendship, love, and the importance of seeing the world through the eyes of a child. The Wondrous Flight of the Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

These are just a few suggestions, and there are many other great books out there for 8 to 11-year-olds. The best way to find the right books for your child is to let them explore and find what they enjoy.

Bonds Brewed Over Tea: A Daily Ritual of Sharing with Aadhya and Ansh

                      In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, finding moments to connect with our children becomes invaluable. As a parent, one of the most rewarding rituals I've established with my kids, Aadhya, an 11-year-old with a penchant for stories, and Ansh, a bubbly 5-year-old with endless curiosity, is our evening tea time.                     Every day, as the clock inches towards the evening, we gather around the table, the aroma of freshly brewed tea mingling with the excitement of what each of us has experienced during the day.

  In a world that seems to be constantly moving at the speed of light, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, feeling overwhelmed by the never-ending to-do lists, and the fear that time is slipping away. Today, I want to remind you of something important: stop stressing yourself; you are okay. You have time. Slow down, calculate your steps, and remember, you've got this. The Pace of Life - Life can sometimes feel like a race, with everyone rushing towards their goals and dreams. We often find ourselves comparing our progress to others, and this relentless pace can take a toll on our mental and physical well-being. It's essential to realize that life is not a sprint; it's a marathon. There's no need to rush to the finish line because, in reality, there is no finish line.
