#numbers #children #books #fun #years
In
this
 era, where kids love to read non-fiction or fiction
books
 are losing their interest significantly, in
this
 essay, I will suggest some reasons for
this
 dramatic change, and share some solutions for
this
 issue.
Firstly
, many
children
 are losing their interest in reading because of live-action movies, In the year 2001 when the
first
 Harry Potter movie was released, it attract lots of kids' attention and encourage them to watch a 2-hour movie
instead
 of reading 300 pages of a book. The majority of
children
also
 like to watch good visual effects and they don't want to imagine
such
 things by reading
books
,
hence
, it cause less reading.
Additionally
, lots of fun
books
 are not available in every market, which causes less reading.
Secondly
, if we want our
children
 to read more, we have to add a few things which current
books
 don't have, like good illustrations, It will help to gain a child's attention and
also
 help our
children
 to imagine more,
for example
, Diary of a wimpy kid is the best selling novel of the year in 2010 because of its illustrations. Another problem is the lack oAdditionalyery e-commerce website as an e-book or in local shops around the world, where kids can reach these
books
 easily and start having fun reading. To conclude,
children
's interest in book reading is declining significantly, because of live-action movies and lack of availability, I must suggest to the publication houses to make sure that their
books
 are available in every e-commerce and local shops around the world.
