Power of a Joke and Laughter

"A day without laughter is a day wasted."
Charles Chaplin
Discovering the joy of telling jokes it’s a way to experience a lifelong companionship, laughter and self-confidence. Having access to the source and introducing children to books with jokes is very beneficial and will have links to higher intellectual development in vocabulary, spelling and stimulates thinking.

A: Ruff!
Even the most reluctant reader can often be persuaded to pick up a joke book or read a joke printed out onto a card or bookmark. Collecting jokes can be helpful too. A reluctant reader scan be encouraged if you give him a special notebook to decorate and use to store all his favorites. Then suggest he gets out his notebook for a rainy day or when he is feeling under the weather and needs cheering up!
