Did you know that an easy way to reduce stress is to read for at least six minutes a day? Sit down with a good book each day, and you’ll reduce your stress level by more than half![1]
Studies also show that kids who own at least 20 of their own books will do better in school and stay in school for more years than the kids who don’t have books.[1]
Wondering which country collectively has the highest reading rate? India’s population reads the most, individually reading for almost 11 hours per week. The U.S. comes in at 22nd place (in a tie with Germany), clocking about five and a half hours per week.[2][3]
Reading matters when it comes to education, achievement, and general quality of life.

How to Create Your Own Reading Group Names
Use the following tips to create your own reading group name ideas:
- Get inspiration from your favorite books. You can make a play on the book title or name your group after a favorite character or place from the book. For example, if you love Dr. Seuss’s books, you might call a reading group “One Fish Two Fish” after “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.” There’s a sentence in the same book about a little star — another name option might be “The Little Stars.” Just a single book will provide many options!
- Take suggestions from the group. Have each member submit an idea and put the final winner to a group vote. If the group is small, you can also take individual suggestions and combine them into a single name to include each member’s ideas.
- Try an acronym. Depending on the size of your group, you might be able to take the first letter of each member’s name and create a unique acronym as the group name. Ask each group member to decide on the word they’d like to use based on the first letter of their name; then, you can assemble the words into the acronym.
