Give a Simple Gift This Christmas

Is there a reluctant reader on your gift list? Someone who struggles with the words printed on a page?


Consider giving the gift of an easy-to-read Bible: large print for the senior saint with failing eyesight, a simplified version for the adult who reads at a child’s level, a comic-strip style for a young reader.

 

Give a gift that says, “You can do this! You can read God’s Word for yourself.”

Simple Statistics

 

Those of us who read easily often take the skill for granted. What do the stats say?

 

      • 43 million American adults cannot read, write or do math above the 3rd grade level (Proliteracy)
      • 17% of Americans don’t read any books — the average is 12/year (Gallup)
      • 30% of US 8th-graders scored below the Basic Level of reading proficiency (NAEP)
      • On average, US teens (age 15-19) read less than 10 minutes per day (Statista)

It’s not always easy to tell who can and can’t read easily. There may well be several reluctant readers in your circle of friends. For their sakes, keep things short and simple.
