We focus on choice and reading for pleasure. We provide a selection of reading levels, formats, genres, fiction and nonfiction that kids can select.
Recreational reading enhances fluency, creativity, vocabulary, and comprehension skills, setting a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Additionally, it fosters empathy and imagination by allowing kids to explore different perspectives and worlds. |
Help Build a Library for Nat-Su Healthcare in Tooele, UT
Join Brain Food Books with the help of The King's English Bookshop in building a permanent collection of Native American Books for the Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians. The dream is to offer both locations Indigenous-focused titles. Seeing oneself, a shared history, and learning the history of your ancestors and heroes is a kind of empowerment that will have a generational impact and offer growth, hope, and understanding beyond measure. All donated books and funds will directly support this project.
