My name is Dominik Frolec, I created this website for my quest, a grade 8 passion project at Green School Bali, Indonesia. My project is about reading and It's benefits.
On the page "Benefits of reading" you will find research on the benefits of reading (plus topics related) and why it's good for you to read.
One the page "Blog: Book reviews" You will find reviews of several great books, as well as posts from a mini project I did called reading across continents. If you would like to share your favorite book on my blog simply email me at dominik@frolec.cz
with 1-3 paragraphs about it and why you like it. I would be very happy to have your input.
On the page: "Recommended reads" You find a list of about 90 of my favorite books with age recommendations and descriptions of what the books are about.
For those who like audio books, try www.audible.com an audio book website which is free for 30 days (You must sign in with your Amazon account) after that it's just 15$ a month. A bargain if you use audible often.
On June 4th 2018, I am presenting my project in front of the learning community at Green School. This project is more than doing something I like. Reading means a lot to me, I expressed so in this poem.
Just read
I just read,
turning page after page,
reading chapter after chapter,
whether I’m in the magical world of Harry Potter,
the mythical realm of Percy Jackson
or the realistic life of Auggie Pullman,
I'm able to focus on what’s happening,
decisions characters are making.
I get in my zone, anytime, anywhere,
Focus, concentration, are effortless tasks,
Everything that’s happening,
Struggles, problems, worries,
All go away.
I just read.
Time flies,
I visualise characters,
Scenes, actions, moments,
Pictures forming in my mind,
My imagination thriving,
Minutes turning,
I just read.
I just read.
I want to be able to share the delights of reading with others, recommend great reads, review books I’ve read and show the benefits of reading. I want others to have opportunities to read awesome books they’ll enjoy. I want to help society benefit from the "wonders of reading'.
