Warning: Reading can be Habit Forming and Contagious


Warning: Reading can be Habit Forming and Contagious

LOS ANGELES, CA, February 5, 2007 - Research shows that reading is one of the most important and contagious habits a parent can encourage. Author, Michael Holm hopes to perpetuate the wonderful cycle with his unique approach to self-publishing.

Much like a cold is passed on from one family member to another, so is reading. From parents reading to their children to older siblings demonstrating their desire to read, children love to imitate their older brothers and sisters.

Parents must entice their children to read. Reading promotes language development in children, a higher level of thinking, creativity, confidence, and also nurtures the skills and habits necessary to succeed in school and in life.

It only takes one good book like Harry Potter for the habit to take off. A U.S. consumer research survey reports that “over half of all children between the ages 6 and 17 have read at least one Harry Potter book,” prompting a revived interest in reading.

Confucius say: “No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance.

Author Michael Holm is offering parents a unique way to pique their children’s interest in reading with his new novel “Wish Seekers,” by allowing them to have a loving and personalized message in the back of his self-published book in a special acknowledgement section. “Could you imagine how wonderful it would have been to have a message for your child in the back of the first Harry Potter book?” Michael asks.

“Reading should be fun, that’s what will make reading contagious and a habit for life,” says Michael. “Please look for my website wishseekers.com and join me in this adventure!”

Michael’s novel has been a labor of love for almost ten years, from the time his nephews inspired the storyline, to script, to manuscript. His manuscript has been described by one Hollywood insider as “decidedly cinematic, a fun ride that should definitely translate into a successful novel and feature film.”
