The Power of Words: Feeding Young Minds Through Reading.
By Author Justin Wilson
As a writer and poet, I’ve always been captivated by the power of words. Words have the ability to transport us into the thoughts of others, letting us share in the experiences of the greatest minds throughout history. Think about it—by simply reading, we become participants in the lives and ideas of those who came before us.
Words are so fundamental to life that even the Creator identified Himself as “the Word.” They hold the power to shape, create, and inspire—but only if we engage with them.
For children especially, reading is the gateway to creativity and growth. It’s through words that they learn to dream, question, and understand the world around them. I like to think of words as food for the mind. Just as a healthy diet nurtures the body, reading nourishing and uplifting words fosters a healthy, vibrant mind.
The beauty of reading is that words are everywhere. From books to signs to conversations, there’s always something to feed your imagination. By encouraging children to read, we give them the tools to create the lives they envision and the confidence to share their voices with the world.
So, I urge you to feed young minds with the words that inspire, uplift, and guide them toward their dreams. It’s a gift they’ll carry for a lifetime.
