Reading for pleasure isn’t a chore, a school requirement, or a competitive sport. It is reading done for the pure joy of it. It should be the moment your child’s heart rate slows down and their imagination takes flight.

The Reality of the “Drift”

However, we are currently witnessing a “Digital Drift.” Nowadays, young learners are increasingly hooked on social media or gaming platforms as their primary source of relaxation. As busy parents, we’ve all been there—giving a toddler a YouTube video is often the easiest way to ensure they eat their food without a fuss.

The Sorry State of Modern Learning

It is heart-breaking to see young learners opting for ChatGPT or Google to find a meaning rather than experiencing the tactile, investigative joy of picking up a dictionary. When reading is replaced by instant digital gratification, children lose the ability to sit with a story, to ponder, and to wonder.

At Phonics and Fables, we believe it is our collective responsibility to ensure that reading becomes so engaging that children want to return to it. We don’t just teach decoding; we bridge the gap between “learning to read” and “reading to live.”
