The 3Rs concept is the idea that children need to be exposed to a variety of books in order for them to develop a love of reading. This means that they should have access to well-written, interesting stories across many genres and topics.
It’s important for kids to read books about people who are different from themselves, and about things they don’t know much about. This will help them see their world in a new way!
Develop a love of reading
Learn to see their world in new ways
Provide access to well written, interesting stories across many genres and topics.
The purpose of the “three Rs” concept from Russell and Burch is for children to develop a love of books by having exposure to well written, interesting stories about people who are different from themselves, as well as things they don’t know much about. This prepares them for an ever changing world that’s hard not be curious about. Although this isn’t scientifically proven just yet, kids with good literacy skills tend do better in school which means they could have higher earning potentials later on if they pursue careers that require critical thinking or college degrees. Lastly, it’s just fun. An avid reader can find an escape in a book that they would never be able to experience first hand, making them feel connected and important.

it’s fun – feeling connected or part of something through books is as good as it gets for many readers!
There are three main reasons people should read more books: exposure to well written, interesting stories about people who aren’t similar to themselves; developing curiosity with the purposeful intention of increasing earning potential later on; enjoyment–feeling like you’re connecting to a story and part of something when you read.

The primary purpose of the “three Rs” concept from Russell and Burch is to improve oneself, develop curiosity with the intention of increasing earning potential later on, or enjoy a story. The feeling like you’re connecting to some other part of it when you read – that’s one thing most people don’t get in their everyday lives anymore.

As I was reading this passage, my first thought is that it’s true. There are many people who don’t read because they’re not interested in the subject matter or for some other reason. It makes sense to me when you stop and think about how important reading comprehension skills can be in our day to day lives – both personally and professionally.
The three Rs from Russell and Burch suggests there are multiple reasons why a person might want to read more books than just increasing their earning potential later on. The article doesn’t list all of them but one that stood out to me was the idea of reading for pleasure.
Another reason could be a person’s desire to learn and grow intellectually. If so, that’s an important goal because it will lead to personal growth which in turn can result in professional development if done properly. There are many other reasons too but these three seemed like they impacted people at different levels – whether personally or professionally.
Some examples from work I’ve read lately:
*How Reading Improves Your Memory *The Benefits of Reading Fiction *The Cost Benefit Analysis of Productive Employees Who Read Outside Their Job Description
etc.
There are some good articles on this subject available any time you want them! You’ll find something here and there no matter what your interests may.
Conclusion paragraph:
The 3Rs of reading is a simple concept that can be applied to any child’s education. It teaches them how important it is to read in many different genres and topics, so they are not limited by the type of stories they enjoy. If you’d like your children or students to have access to well-written stories across all genres, let us know! Our team members will work with you on creating a curriculum plan that includes books from every genre imaginable. Have you been following this principle at home? What has been the result for your kids?
