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

Whether

children

should read stories alone or with the accompany of

parents

is a question that many

parents

are facing nowadays.

This

article will explore more on

this

question and share my opinion. Some argue that

parents

should keep their

children

accompany while they are reading

books

on the account that it contributes to the development of

children

. One notable trait of

children

is that they can hardly grasp the correct meaning of the book even if the content is very simple. In others words, they can hardly profit from reading

books

that they do not understand.

This

might result in

children

wasting their precious time for learning.

By contrast

, with the assistance of their

parents

, they might gain some insights into the story and thereby enriching the time spent on reading.

In addition

, it is kids’ natural to imitate their

parents

’ words and deeds. For

this

reason, if

parents

tell the story themselves to their

children

in their early days, which shows that they are intrigued by the book,

then

it is highly predictable that the kids will enjoy the process of reading in the future. Others believe that

this

assistance from

parents

in reading can affect the development of

children

. It is common knowledge that independence is a curial ability of a human being and can only be instilled into

children

at a very young age. More specifically,

children

whose

parents

constantly help them with reading at a young age are more likely to show reliance toward their

parents

in terms of reading later. What’s more, not having

children

read

books

alone might deprive

children

of the opportunity to explore their interests. It is undeniable that

children

hardly change their minds if they have a vision of something.

Consequently

, once

parents

have failed to pinpoint the interests of their

children

and cannot provide

books

accordingly

, a stereotype towards

books

will be formed.

This

might result in

children

do not favour reading. [40 minutes]

Therefore

, it is reasonable that some

parents

insist on not reading the story out loud for their

children

. To conclude, while some argue that

parents

should help

children

to read, others maintain that

otherwise

contribute to cultivating independence. From my perspective, it is vital to see whether the child has the ability to read alone, if not,

parents

should do their best to help kids to fully understand the book.
