Reading Playground uses words in a fun way to inspire children to want to read. It has a form that is un-threatening to the reluctant reader so they can become motivated about learning how to use words. Reading Playground purposely starts out with poetry to engage readers, then includes short stories to get readers to practice traditional reading expectations, and ends with a play to challenge readers to internalize reading strategies to project thinking skills. Reading Playground exposes readers to different genres while motivating them to read and entertaining them as they read. At the same time, Reading Playground demonstrates an acceptance of human difference as a strong point that binds people together as friends instead of tearing them apart as enemies. It has pictures that are fun and very real to life in the minds of most kids of how they produce their beautiful imperfections of art. Reading Playground is a book that young readers can read and reread as they mature.
