A school break offers the perfect opportunity to dive into a good book or enjoy a movie. When these activities are shared as a family, they can offer far more than just entertainment for your children.
Dr. Andrea Pastorok, an educational psychologist with Kumon Math and Reading Centers, explains, "Watching a movie provides a chance for children and adults to discuss its events, conflicts, and moral lessons together." Reading the book version of a movie allows children to revisit the story in a new way, enhancing both their comprehension and decoding skills?"key abilities for academic success and life.
Starting with the book is ideal as it encourages children to imagine the story, characters, and scenes. However, if a movie piques a child's interest in the book, a bit of parental flexibility can be beneficial.
Most stories include conflicts or challenges, which Dr. Pastorok suggests using as discussion points. Ask your child questions such as, "How would you handle that dilemma?" and explore which version they prefer and why.
For a curated list of timeless stories, consider Kumon's Recommended Reading List, pairing popular books with their movie adaptations:
- "Charlotte's Web"
- "Jumanji"
- "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"
- "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"
- "The Wizard of Oz"
- "Pippi Longstocking"
- "Alice in Wonderland"
- "The Secret Garden"
- "A Wrinkle in Time"
- "Clifford the Big Red Dog"

Engaging with these stories as a family can inspire meaningful conversations and foster a love for both reading and cinema.
