Reading

has recently been claimed
Suggestion
have recently been claimed
 to be more beneficial for children than watching television or playing e-games on the computer. For kids who are book addicts,
this
 is absolutely true since nothing can be compared with enjoying a
story
.
First
 off, TV watching is inferior to
story book
a book containing a collection of stories (usually for children)
storybook
reading
Suggestion
reader
. The former is associated with the habit of 'watching' rather than 'reading' whereas the latter is the opposite. Some might say that the two are very similar
since
Suggestion
for
 anyone involved needs to use their eyes. Reasonable as it is, those who believe so do not really take into consideration the point that readers can stop at a page and contemplate about it for as long as possible, especially when it comes to hard-to-understand stories,
such
 as mystery books.
Second
 of all, reading
story
 books is
also
 superior to playing computer games. Admittedly, being engaged in game playing on the computer is undeniably great fun as a wonderful stress reliever, but games are games only.
However
,
story book
a book containing a collection of stories (usually for children)
storybook
 reading is associated with a multitude of educational benefits, one of which is the cultivation of
emotions
Suggestion
the emotions
. In
this
 current world, fewer and fewer people have any interest in enjoying a short
story
 or a novel, so they need to be immersed in
this
 environment at an early age. The earlier the better. If children laugh or cry with
characters
Suggestion
the characters
 in a
story
, they will gradually develop feelings of loving other human beings in real life. In conclusion, my perspective concerning the great joy gained from reading
story
 books has been clarified.
This
 actually might not be highly appreciated by children with other interests. In
this
 technological world, it is not surprising that the majority of kids prefer to be engaged elsewhere. Each to his own.
