It is a fact that reading has enormous importance in a child’s learning journey. While some people believe online reading materials is the only thing be used for a child to learn how to read, others argue that only printed material should be used. In
this
 essay I will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of
this
 topic and give my reasons why I believe both materials should use.
Firstly
, with the rise of technology, everything is having an alternative on the internet and usually there are more varieties than printed ones. Because of the accessibility of the online materials children may have too many options which will make the learning process enjoyable and fun.
Moreover
, online reading materials might have their own audio tracks and children can listen to
this
 without needing their parents or teachers.
As a result
, the learning process is will be faster for the child.
Furthermore
, day to day printed materials are losing their popularity with new generations and it can be a good way for keeping up with it.
On the other hand
, aforesaid the accessibility of the online materials, the most significant problem about
this
 is, not all the children or families have access to the internet, even the technological devices unreachable in many circumstances.
Although
 money is needed for the technological devices, printed materials are cheaper and easier to obtain. To illustrate, even in the countries with strong economies, there can be a family who can’t afford these materials.
Furthermore
, screen time might be more harmful for eyes than printed materials, if it’s used for long hours. In conclusion, despite the online reading materials’ is advantaged, I think it is unfair to expect everyone to have enough technology. Because of
this
, education should not only rely on online materials, but
also
 include printed ones.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.
