Why should your child read, write, and Publish literature in the journal?

  1. Since some children have limited engagement in social contexts, this is an opportunity for them to engage with society virtually, and this will help in the child's development. Reading what others have written and themselves contributing to the writings prepares them for social interactions and real-life situations.
  2. The journal publishes literature that increases language development by introducing new vocabulary and helping children learn about using language in context.
  3. The materials published will increase children's books and enhance children's cognitive development in memory, attention, and imagination.
  4. The journal provides an opportunity for children to document their experience and understanding to make meaning of the sensory message, which is how the brain understands the world around them.
  5. The materials published by the journal help children’s personal development and self-understanding by presenting situations and characters with which our own can be compared.
  6. The writings involve present topics that children can relate to, such as love, empathy, family affection, and friendship. Writing and Reading the articles that we publish helps children to understand emotion and helps them transfer their learning to social contexts.
