What would it take to get you to put down your phone during a meal? Sarah?s Corner Caféin Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, is offering a deal for people who want to enjoy a meal, and each other, unplugged. They?ve set up so-called “family recharging stations” at tables where you drop your phone into a basket.

"They let the server know and the server will bring over a basket with old fashioned Hangman and Tic Tac Toe and pencils because those games are interactive instead of coloring, which is solitary (孤单的)," owner Barry Lynch told ABC News. Once a family joins in the challenge, staffs bring games to the table to encourage the family to interact and communicate with one another If families make it through the meal without looking at their phones, they'rerewarded 10 percent off their bill. "A lot of people are starting to do it and it's taken on alife of its own, "said lynch.

The idea for the "family recharging time" came to Lynch after observing many of his customers. "There's one particular family I knew used to come in on Sunday for breakfastafter church," he recalled. "Every time I went over, one or two of the kids and sometimes the parents would be on the phone. I also knew the dad would go to New York for work every day, which takes a lot of time. I asked him about that and he said, …Yeah, I still do it. It's so nice to be together and these breakfasts are rare.? And when he said that, I thought, "Something is going on here I need to do something."

Lynch is thrilled by the responsehis phone- free meals have gotten and hopes they continue to enrich his customers' family time. "I just thought it was such a shame not to have more time together just to talk," he said.

For the kids who have just started to read, choosing the right books is essential and their parents should be there to help them.

A proper book classification system would be of great help in this regard, since most parents do not know which books suit their children?s reading levels the most. An effective classification system for children?s books would help overcome this problem.

Chinese bookstores, online or offline, still prefer to use age rather than reading ability to categorize what they sell. In fact, reading ability and interests vary from child to child even when they are at the same age. This early form of classification is accepted by most bookstores and publishers, yet many young readers get books that are nowhere near their targeted reading levels.

China has at least 200 million children under the age of 14, and their enthusiasm for reading has increased over the years. The publishers of children?s books should try to introduce a juvenile-centered classification system to help their readers choose books that are suitable for their reading abilities.

Some don?t trust the call for more effective book classification, mentioning the need for youngsters to read extensively and avoid restricting themselves to one or two categories. There is a strong case for resisting selective reading, but not book classification, which is designed to help young children develop good reading habits and hold onto them in the long run.

Studies have found that kids are less likely to be into reading if they have not developed such a habit before the age of 10. That said, it is in their best interests to adopt targeted reading during childhood, as this can greatly improve their comprehension abilities. So greater efforts should be put into designing a book classification system that meets the needs of young readers.
