“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”---Dr. Seuss


Reading Month takes place during March every year. It begins on March 2nd  with "Read Across America Day" and also happens to be the birthday of one of the most popular children's book authors of all time, Dr. Seuss. Reading stories about his wonderful characters on this day is a ritual that is becoming a regular happening and the perfect way to get children interested in reading books. 

Read Across America Day is more like a reading program that encourages everyone to read and interact with children to make reading more fun and interactive experience. The building blocks of our character are laid from childhood through reading. Reading plays an integral role in shaping who we become as we try to escape the monotony of everyday life. With the advent of smartphones and tablets, children may be spending more time on their smart devices and therefore it's more important than ever to motivate them to read.

However, it is important not to neglect the development of good posture and work habits while motivating children to read.


Ergonomic desks and chairs that grow with a child


Most children are active and may like to read on their backs or with their hands propped upon their heads.  Using desks and chairs that are not suitable for their growing bodies  - causing them to bow their backs, or in dim or too bright lighting.   Developing incorrect postures and habits can hurt a child's bone growth and eyesight. So when it comes to developing a child's reading habits, a set of ergonomic tables and chairs for children is essential.

The word "ergonomics" comes from the Greek words ergon (meaning "work") and nomos (meaning "rule") and is defined as the science of human work. Its main concern is to adapt working conditions to the individual and not the other way around. The ultimate goal should be to ensure that children grow up healthy and develop good reading habits while reaping the benefits of knowledge and pleasure.  LUMI's mission is to change the paradigm, rather than children adapting to their furniture to a new goal of having furniture adapt to them.

LUMI is committed to providing ergonomic solutions for children that establish healthier work habits and better posture that they can carry into adulthood, reducing injuries and adverse health issues caused by incorrect posture and bad habits.
   
As a child grows, chairs and desks must fit them as well as their shoes do! With a wide range of height-adjustable desks and chairs, children can easily adjust the furniture to fit their size and position. Some desktops can be tilted at different angles to suit different needs such as reading, writing, and drawing. From children to teenagers, LUMI's desks and chairs can be adjusted to a height that adapts to the child's growth, providing a comfortable and always well-established reading and learning experience.

What does this mean for the parent?  It means less spending on upgrading furniture as their child grows. 


Design ingenuity and accessories help develop good working habits

To enhance the reading experience,  LUMI's kid's adjustable desks and chairs incorporate additional features with optional accessories available. Some desktops are equipped with functional recesses that accommodate accessories including bookshelves, desk lamps, book holders.  Storage and organization are also part of working smarter and compartment drawers, storage space and multifunctional hooks provide a child with the ability to build organizational habits from an early age.


Read Across America Day is a great opportunity to nurture a child's interest in reading and read with them. Like Dr. Seuss said, "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go. " Reading makes people smarter and allows children to gain knowledge and expand their horizons.
