Books in the home as important as parents’ education level
Whether rich or poor, illiterate or college graduates, parents who have books in the home increase the level of education their children will attain, according to a 20-year study led by Associate Professor Mariah Evans.
Monday, May 24, 2010
By Claudene Wharton
Whether rich or poor, residents of the United States or China, illiterate or college graduates, parents who have books in the home increase the level of education their children will attain, according to a 20-year study led by Mariah Evans, University of Nevada, Reno associate professor of sociology and resource economics.
For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated. But, strikingly, this massive study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home compared to being raised in a home with a 500-book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as having parents who are barely literate (3 years of education) compared to having parents who have a university education (15 or 16 years of education). Both factors, having a 500-book library or having university-educated parents, propel a child 3.2 years further in education, on average.
Being a sociologist, Evans was particularly interested to find that children of lesser-educated parents benefit the most from having books in the home. She has been looking for ways to help Nevada’s rural communities, in terms of economic development and education.
“What kinds of investments should we be making to help these kids get ahead?” she asked. “The results of this study indicate that getting some books into their homes is an inexpensive way that we can help these children succeed.”
Evans said, “Even a little bit goes a long way,” in terms of the number of books in a home. Having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on propelling a child to a higher level of education, and the more books you add, the greater the benefit.
“You get a lot of ‘bang for your book’,” she said. “It’s quite a good return-on-investment in a time of scarce resources.”
In some countries, such as China, having 500 or more books in the home propels children 6.6 years further in their education. In the United States, the effect is less, 2.4 years, than the 3.2-year average advantage experienced across all 27 countries in the study. But, Evans points out that 2.4 years is still a significant advantage in terms of educational attainment.
For example, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, Americans who have some college or an associate’s degree, but not a bachelor’s degree, earn an average of $7,213 more annually than those with just a high school education. Those who attain a bachelor’s degree earn $21,185 more each year, on average, than those with just high school diplomas.
The study by Evans and her colleagues at Nevada, UCLA and Australian National University is one of the largest and most comprehensive studies ever conducted on what influences the level of education a child will attain.
The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children’s educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the country’s GDP, the father’s occupation or the political system of the country.
Having books in the home is twice as important as the father’s education level, and more important than whether a child was reared in China or the United States. Surprisingly, the difference in educational attainment for children born in the United States and children born in China was just 2 years, less than two-thirds the effect that having 500 or more books in the home had on children (3.2 years).
The study, “Family scholarly culture and educational success: Books and schooling in 27 nations,” was published in the journal, Research in Social Stratification and Mobility (online at www.sciencedirect.com).

Nostalgia Membaca Buku; Enid Blyton and Sweet Valley High
Bermalas-malasan di hari Ahad nan indah..
Teringat pulak zaman baca buku Enid Blyton dulu, the word bermalas-malasan tu aku mula kenal masa baca buku Famous Five n Secret Seven, tapi aku dulu2 baca yg melayu punyer lah..
ENID BLYTON
Masa syok dok baca Enid Blyton aku tak pernah fikir pun yg author dia, Enid Blyton nih seorang perempuan... later in life masa dah besar skit, baru aku tau dia ni perempuan. Memang ramai pun tak sangka yg Enid Blyton nih perempuan.
Enid Mary Blyton (11 August 1897 – 28 November 1968) was a British children's writer known as both Enid Blyton and Mary Pollock. She was one of the most successful children's storytellers of the twentieth century. She is noted for numerous series of books based on recurring characters and designed for different age groups. Her books have enjoyed popular success in many parts of the world, and have sold over 400 million copies. Blyton is the fifth most translated author worldwide:
Dari Enid Blyton, aku improve to Sweet Valley High, masa tu dah sekolah menengah la kan, dah mula start baca english teen novels, best nyer ingat dulu-dulu...
Teringat pulak zaman baca buku Enid Blyton dulu, the word bermalas-malasan tu aku mula kenal masa baca buku Famous Five n Secret Seven, tapi aku dulu2 baca yg melayu punyer lah..
Bila diingatkan balik, buku-buku Enid Blyton nih la yg memupuk minat membaca aku masa kecik-kecik dulu, macam mana aku start baca buku-buku macam ni aku tak ingatlah.. tapi yg pasti sumber utama ialah library lah, seingat aku, aku selalu pergi perpustakaan awam negeri kelantan yg dekat Gelanggang Seni kat Kota Bharu tu... rasa kagum la plak kecik2 suka g library.. haha... seingat aku lah, idea nak g library tu bukan dari parents aku pun.. ntah mcm mana lah boleh datang idea every saturday nak g library, biasanya my mom lah yg akan hantar aku ngan my bro ke library, after few hours dia akan datang amik plak..
Baca buku Enid Blyton really opens up my mind... imaginasi sangat2 jadi tinggi...every time baca diaorang punyer adventure, I would imagine macam mana lah agaknyer tempat2 and adventure2 yg diaorang alami tu.. citer yg 7 Penyiasat tu kot kalau tak silap yg diaorang tu semua counsins, and ada sorang yg tomboy nama Georgina tapi panggil George yg bapak dia saintis tu... bestt sangattt baca citer2 tu... ada je adventure yg diaorang lalui...

Buku SVH nih banyak yg aku beli sendiri, and aku suka sangat balut buku2 nih dengan plastic cover yg biasa kita balut buku teks sekolah tu... aku ingat lagi aku belajar balut buku nih dari sorang my chinese fren aku yg sangat kemas dalam bab2 balut2 buku nih.. ada seni dan cara tersendiri tau nak balut buku dengan kemas n cantik...
SVH nih aku baca buku dari Jessica n Elizabeth (twins) nih dari elementary school sampai lah dia kat university. TV series pun ada dibuat utk SVH nih, tapi aku lagi suka baca buku nye dari tgk tv series nyer.. sebab tak berkenan sangat dengan para pelakon nya...
nostalgic sungguh ingat kisah2 baca buku zaman remaja dulu... sekarang nih aku dah jarang baca novel, banyak baca buku self-help pulak...

Aku Paling Takut Bila Kena Bercakap Depan Orang Ramai
Kita biasa dengar kata-kata macam kat tajuk atas tu kan...
Well.. memang pun... kalau ikut kajian yg pernah diadakan kat US of A, fear of public speaking mengatasi dari fear of death! How about thattt!
Tapi, whether we like it or not... kebolehan berucap dengan baik antara skil yg penting baik masa jadi pelajar atau pun bila dah bekerja.
From my own experience... once kita dah keje.. pointer masa study dulu dah tade makna dah...seriously! in fact.. masa interview pun kalau kita dpt 4 flat pun tapi bila orang tanya kita tak reti nak bercakap... habisss.....
From my observation... mostly pekerja yg bagus biasanya bijak dalam berkomunikasi, bila pandai berkomunikasi of course jadikan kita disukai ramai.. bila org suka kita... keje kita pun jadi senang la kan... tade lah nak stress2 kat ofis kan..
So, ni aku nak share satu buku yg aku baru habis baca.
Teori & Teknik Ucapan Berpengaruh oleh pasangan suami isteri - Abdullah Hassan dan Ainon Mohd.
ok.. sebenarnyer buku ni bukan utk yg baru2 nak belajar bercakap depan org ramai.. tapi lebih kepada org yg biasa (terpaksa) bercakap depan org yg nak improve lagi skil berucap.
Contoh nyer, pekerja yg selalu ke buat presentation kat ofis2 ke.. (kpd adik2 yg study lg, jgn ingat bila dah abis blaja dah tade kena buat presentation.. alam pekerjaan pun ada gak tau..so.. takleh larii.. face your fear! kalau tak sampai bila nak hidup dalam rasa terkongkong dengan benda yg kita takut nak buat kan)
So.. malam ni aku terlebih rajin n nak share isi-isi menarik dari buku tu.. mari kita tengok apa yg buku ni cakap pasal mcm mana nak improve lagi skil public speaking kita dan mcm mana nak bagi ucapan yg dapat mempengaruhi audience.. tak semesti nya utk bagi ceramah, tapi bleh guna skil ni utk pengaruhi bos kita, rakan sekerja kita, kawan2 dengan cadangan atau idea2 yg kita ada.
kita hanya boleh mempengaruhi orang yang suka kepada kita
orang-orang yang pandai berkomunikasi adalah orang-orang yang dipandang
sebagai orang-orang yang memiliki daya tarikan tinggi daya pengaruh adalah unsur wajib dimiliki oleh seseorang yang hendak mempengaruhi orang lain.......kuasa adalah sumber pengaruh yang paling besar (kuasa kat sini maksud nyer status dan kuasa kedudukan yg tinggi)
bahasa orang berjaya tidak sama dengan bahasa orang yang gagal, walaupun mungkin kedua-duanya bercakap bahasa Melayu
bahasa yang kita gunakan memancarkan tinggi atau rendahnya estim diri kita
Banyak lagi yg best2 yg bleh kita belajar dari buku nih.. Aku baca pun bukan sebab nak jadi penceramah ke apa ke.. just suka2 je baca..sbb bleh apply utk kita berkomunikasi ngan orang2 sekeliling kita..
of course dengan harapan dapat improve kualiti hidup kita.. insyaAllah...

Jadi Apa Sebenarnya Yang Kita Inginkan?
Wahh.. tajukkk... hehe..
Actually aku tengah baca buku Quranic Law of Attraction by Rusdin S. Rauf nih...
Salah satu bab dalam buku tu ada bincangkan pasal nih.. it got me into thinking... apa sebenarnya yang aku inginkan? Well.. simple jek soalan tu kan.. mesti semua orang cakap, nak kaya, nak bahagia, nak kesihatan yg baik.. nak cantik, nak pandai, nak kurus, nak gemuk? hehe.. ehh ada apa orang yg nak gemuk..
Tapi, jika itu semua yg kita nak, betulkah dengan kaya kita akan bahagia? Kalau cakap nak bahagia, nak bahagia yg mcm mana? Terlalu subjektifkan.. bagi sesetengah orang ada kerja, ada rumah n family dah cukup membahagiakan.. tapi ramai jugak yg ada kerja ada rumah n ada family still tak bahagia kannn..
So.. according to the book..
Tanyalah kepada diri kita,
kenapa saya mahukan perkara-perkara itu? sekiranya dapat semua keinginan itu, apakah saya berasa bahagia? Apa bila saya bahagia, apa yang menyebabkan kebahagiaan itu?
apakah saya akan tersenyum bahagia ketika mendapat keinginan itu? Mengapa? apakah makna kebahagiaan menurut saya?
Sangat berat n mendalam lah soalan2 tu.. tapi bila difikirkan balik.. betul gak kan.. kita nih kalau ikut rasa hati memang semua benda nak kan..
As for me, dulu-dulu.. masa mula-mula kerja.. Aku fikir wouldn't it be nice to have my own big screen tv... so...aku bli flat screen (masa tu flat screen la yg canggih) then lepas ada tv tu.. teringin plak.. nak ada astro... aku ingat lagi... aku pk.. mesti aku tak rasa boring if ada astro kat umah sewa aku tu... with astro..aku rasa my life would be complete (cewaahhh..kununnyer la) then bila dah ada astro.. still lagi ada rasa void dihatiku ini.. heehehe... pastu nak pulak ada boyfrenn... haa tu dah jadi lain plak.. haha.. so.. betul lah kata buku yg aku tgh baca nih... cuba kenali betul2 keinginan kita... dan tanya apa sebab sebenarnya kita nak benda tu...
hmmm... time to muhasabah diri....
ni lah buku nyer... aku recommend sangat korang baca..

Dear Yayah by Farihah Iskandar
Bought this book for my cousin who complained she is bored at home and told me that she got nothing to do at home, no wonder lah she is always on the net YMing her classmate. I even saw her online almost every nite on YM.
Aaaahhh... budak2 zaman skarang ni... she's only in form one!! Dah pandai komplen boring?? Kat umah ada astro, ada internet, handphone pun ada... that's why I thought.. I ought to instill her with a little love towards reading... this is actually a second book I gave her. The first was an English story book that I gave her and the other two counsins few months ago. (which she didn't finish until now). So...now I think, let's try Malay book plakk...
I read few pages of this Dear Yayah... It's a story about life of a young girl (form four I think), her school, her friends.. etc... something that I think my cousin can relate too...
I'm really serious in making my young cousins fall in love with books. Especially with English storybooks. Reading is definately the best way to improve your English! Period!

Sudah Sampai!!!
I'm on leave today! yey!
Tapi gi keje gak... (for a short time je la)
For the past 2 days, I was in KL attending a workshop at the HQ.
Last night reached home at 11pm.
Pagi tadi kena gi keje gak coz ada kiriman dari KL yg nak kena disampaikan kat org2 kat tempat keje.
Masuk je kolej ternampak motor si ofis boy, terus teringat buku Phd yg dijanjikan oleh penulisnya akan dihantar pada aku. Wandering whether buku tu dah sampai lum.. masuk kat ofis akaun jumpe si ofis boy, aku tanya dia ada apa2 utk aku tak.. he said haaa..ada. yey!!
Sampai ofis aku, aku buka sampul pos xpress tu.. voila... buku biru laut itu dalam genggamanku, upon membuka helaian pertama.. ada sign author dia laaa.. siap tulis nama aku lagi...
sukerrr nyerrr!!!
Terus baca few pages... niat nak teruskan baca terbantut mengingatkan motif aku gi kolej time2 cuti ni sebenarnye ada janji yg nak kena tunaikan...
Isnin baru ni sblm berbengkel di KL aku ada janji (upon her request) ngan anak buah aku utk bagi jadual by Thursday... so ku gagahkan jugak ke kolej time2 cuti coz nak taip n print n bg kat depa... tapi due to K An's advise, aku jgn bg yg complete lg coz tendency for changes tu ada...
Opss... let's get back to the book...
actually, ada niat di hati nak hadiahkan kat kawan2 yg tgh n akan buat PhD, lepas tgk ada sign penulis tu lagi la excited aku nak materialised kan idea aku tu, tapi bila teringatkan harga...
aisehhhh.... RM35 sebijik tuu... hmmm... nanti lah.. kena pk lain laa... hehe...
Well... since tak abis baca lagi buku tu,takleh la nak buat entry pasal content buku tu..
ermm... that's all for now...
p/s: Masa kat KL beli 2 buku; 50 usahawan wanita dan Tuesday With Morrie
byk betul beli buku bulan ni... takpe lah... minat kan... tak rugi baca buku kan.. tapi masalah nyer.. byk lagi buku tersusun menunggu giliran utk dibaca....

Ayat-Ayat Cinta
Tajuk Buku: Ayat-Ayat Cinta
Penulis: Habiburrahman El Shirazy
Penerbit:Ar-Risalah Products Sdn. Bhd.
Sumber: Di pinjam dari seorang ustaz di kolej
Watak Utama: Fahri, Maria, Aisha
Skarang ni (since last week) tengah baca buku ni. Actually dah lama dengar2 citer pasal buku ni, tapi tade la sampai plan nak bli... kebetulan pulak satu ari tu, aku pergi ofis this one ustaz, ternampak dia tengah baca buku ni, I was a bit surprise, tak sangka that ustaz baca novel mcm ni... hehe... Tapi masa aku nampak tu aku buat biasa jek la, takut dia segan kantoi ngan aku. Aku cakap kat dia nak pinjam, tak sangka plak baru2 ni dia bagi aku pinjam,aku pun dah lupa pasal aku minta pinjam dengan dia...
Tentang Apa Buku Ini
Mengkisarkan kisah kehidupan seorang pelajar sarjana di Universiti Al-Azhar, Mesir. Kisah kehidupan dari hari ke hari beliau dibumi Mesir dengan pelbagai pengalaman yang tidak pernah aku tahu. Membaca buku ini ada masanya memberikan rasa damai di jiwa. Kehidupan Fahri yang Islamik sangat menenangkan. Pelbagai pengajaran yang aku dapat dalam buku ini. Banyak ilmu yang ada kena mengena dgn Islam dan kehidupan. Bagaimana adab pergaulan yang dianjurkan dalam Islam.
Yang Menarik
Membaca buku ini membuatkan aku rasa seronok untuk kembali menjadi seorang pelajar semula. Tak pernah lagi aku membaca buku yg berlatar belakangkan negara Mesir. Kehidupan Fahri yg sangat alim dan Islamik sangat memikat hati. Aku seolah-olah dapat membayangkan bagaimana Fahri menjalani kehidupan seharinya. Mempunyai jadual belajar dan kerja menterjemah yang padat, ditambah pula dengan kerja-kerja amal membantu mereka yang bermasalah di sekelilingnya.
Ending
Belum boleh komen pasal ending sebab aku tak habis baca lagi... hehehe..
At the moment tgh baca bab Fahri kena masuk spital... iskk... suspen la plak...
Will continue this after I finished reading the book...
Ciao..
=============================================================
Sunday 10:15am
Selesai sudah Ayat-Ayat Cinta kubaca. Sejak dari 6:30 pagi tadi aku sambung baca sehingga lah lebih kurang 9:30 pagi tadi aku tamatkan novel yg penuh pengajaran itu. It was indeed a 'pembangun jiwa' punyer novel. Sehingga aku seolah-olah terikut-ikut dengan lenggok bahasanya. Ingin sekali memanggil nama orang2 yg kukasihi dengan cara watak di dlm novel itu. Ingin sekali menjadi muslimah seikhlas Aisha, setabah Nurul dan sesuci Maria. Aisha yang dengan ikhlas nyer membenarkan suaminya Fahri menikahi Maria demi menyelamatkan nyawa Maria. Nurul yg tetap tabah walaupun cinta murninya di tolak Fahri dan Maria yg meninggal dunia sesudah mengucap kalimah syadah (buat pertama kali).
Note to self: Should read more of buku2 yg mcm ni, membaca buku ini indeed mendamaikan jiwa, membangunkan jiwa, menyedarkan jiwa yang senantiasa lalai ini.

Ikut Hati Anda: Mencari Tujuan Hidup dan kerjaya
Price: RM 28.50
Popular Bookstore, Kuantan

Just finished reading "Follow Your Heart: Finding Purpose in Your Life and Work.
But, the one that I read was a translated copy (English - Malay).
Takde plan langsung nak bli buku ni, tak pernah tahu pun pasal buku ni. Tadi pi kedai buku tu dgn niat di hati nak bli gift voucher and maybe satu buku yg tak di-decided kan lagi buku apa...

Just terpikir nak cari buku yg sesuai nak bagi sbg hadiah lucky draw utk dinner nanti. Looking at the title, rasa sesuai sgt buku tu. Without second thought, I grabbed the book and took it to the counter. While waiting for the gift voucher yg sedang diuruskan dekat ofis kedai tu,settle bayar buku tu.. tunggu punyer tunggu tak muncul2 gak chinese lady yg suruh aku tunggu while she went to the ofis to take the voucher. It was almost 6pm dah masa tu, dah la si dia tgh buat hal,ngamuk sbb aku kuar sorang2 tak tunggu dia dtg jemput... hehehe...
Well...forget about that si dia thingy tuu...
As for the book, sekali aku hadap je terus aku khatam buku ni... dah lama dah tak buat keje macam ni (re:finished a book on one sitting). It has been awhile since my last reading on motivational book. (The last one baca tak abis2 lagi - Fish Tales).
Buku ni bagus banggett... tapi one thing nyer, I wish it was in English. Memang aku purposely bli Malay version punyer, coz if I were to buy an English version, for sure orgyg dapat buku ni takkan baca abis punyerr.. (99% sure). For the first few chapters, aku dok pk2 ok ke nak bg buku ni kat orang muda rumaja ni, sesuai ke? Coz macam tak sesuai sgt dengan young adult, tapi towards the end of the book tu, aku rasa ok jek bagi,coz the content is very universal. For young adults boleh,for workers pun boley...
I started reading this book lebih kurang at 2am n finished it by 5am!! 3 hours only...
There things that membuka mata,minda dan hati aku... aku rasa nak je underline mana2 sentences yg aku berkenan, tp memandangkan dah niat nak bg hdiah buku ni kat org, so takleh la...terpk pulak nak bli another copy then bg org lain baca (re:dia n my colleagues).
Reading the translated version is a bit 'pening' and rasa mcm tak puas jek. Some of the English words tu bila ditranslate ke BM pelik je rasa.
