Some peole think that parents should read or tell stories to their children. Others think parents needn't do that as children can read books, watch TV or movies by themselves. Discuss both views and give your own opinions.

Never before has the public been so concerned about early-age education. Some people argue that the involvement of

parents

in story-reading is necessary while the rest believe that

children

benefit more from gathering information on their own. From my perspective,

although

the guidance from family to form a reading habit is indispensable, it is more beneficial to read independently. Without doubts,

parents

play a significant role in the early development of

children

. Generally speaking, story-telling empowers

children

to become curious. By listening to fairy tales from

parents

,

children

can learn about nature and history. They would

also

generate various questions about the society that they are living in from these tales, which helps to develop their creativity. Another point worth mentioning is that it takes time and efforts for

children

to be mature enough to read the storybooks or to understand the contents from the TV show,

thus

the supports from family at an early stage become more important. Despite the difficulty for

children

to acquire information from books and TVs directly at an early age, it is still indispensable to develop their learning skills.

First

of all, reading independently is the best opportunity to form a reading habit for

children

, and their reading and writing skills can be trained during their self-reading.

By contrast

, only listening to stories may ultimately lead to over-reliance on

parents

, and it is detrimental to their future study in school.

In addition

, stories from

parents

are prone to be limited to their own knowledge, while tremendous helpful and fresh information,

such

as stories that can trigger

children

’s interests in math, can be found in books, which contributes to a more balanced development for the youngsters. To put everything into consideration

age.

However

, not only does independent reading contributes to the writing and reading skills of

children

, but

also

it enables them to get access to a wider range of knowledge, which leads to more balanced development.
