This is the ninth in a series of ten blogs about things you can do with children, both to celebrate the new football season and to encourage them to read for pleasure and meaning.
It's the first day of the Premier League. Now, at last, all football is back in our hearts, on our screens and in the newspapers.
Saturday newspapers are the best. They might not have match reports in, but they will have:
* match previews for all the games
* predictions for the season that could be way off the mark or spot on
* news about players agitating to leave football clubs
* true transfer stories - Fabregas, for instance
* columns by ex-footballers
* lists
* charts
* photos
* and lots of lies
If you can afford to go out and buy two or three newspapers and leave them around the house, they'll be a great way of getting children into reading before the big kick off.
If not, try your library, where most have free newspapers for all to read.
Or, go online, where you can read most newspapers articles and speculation for free.
Have a good day and a great season. I hope your team does well... unless you're playing Leeds United, in which case - no offence - but I hope you lose.
