The number of children that read books for fun has dropped dramatically in recent years. What are the reasons for this? How can we encourage children to read more?
Nowadays,
video
games, television and smartphone has become very common in our daily life. In this
recent of year, children
prefer playing video
games or watching videos rather than reading books
. Due to this
situation, the number of children
that read books
for pleasure has a sharp decline in those few years. This
essay discusses the reason why children
dislike reading books
and how to solve this
problem.
The most notable reason why the rate of children
reading books
has gone down is due to digital technology. Digital technology can bring us lots of fun rather than reading books
. For example
, if I am a child, I have an hour of taking a break before having a class, I would definitely choose to watch a video
on the internet rather than reading navels. Therefore
, in recent years, children
are not used to reading long paragraphs or lots of words
, they are used to watching videos or pictures. Also
, They have no patient in reading words
or books
.
To solve this
problem, the best way is to let children
get used to reading words
. For example
, let children
read picture books
or some comic books
to let them get interested in reading. In addition
, try to stop children
from playing video
games or smartphones all day long while setting some time for reading books
. The most important thing is to let children
understand the joy of reading books
.
In conclusion, it is not surprised that children
are not reading books
as much as before, whereas the reason for this
is that technology productions are more interesting than books
and they have no patient in reading words
unless we let children
know reading book is fun.Submitted by celinelee0903 on
