#people #children #books #pleasure
Reading is quite important for children since they learn several things from
books
. They are encouraged to read about it in their school and institutes about academic topics.
However
, non-academic
books
 should be reeded for pleasure as well.
This
 essay will discuss the importance of reading both kinds of
books
 giving some reasons why reading
books
 for pleasure and academic purposes is equally important.
Firstly
, reading academic
books
 could bring some benefits for the child. They can acquire knowledge as well as a wide vocabulary range.
This
 will make them develop their communication
skills
 in a proper way.
However
,
this
 is not the only type of book they should read as they might lack some other
skills
 which they could develop.
This
 is why reading
books
 for pleasure with other kinds of topics could give them some chance to improve in other areas
such
 as creativity. Reading
books
 with abstract topics could motivate them to start thinking for themselves and imagine things in a deeper way.
Although
,
this
 is not the only area where they can improve. As I said before, their social
skills
 can be affected as well. They will learn how to understand others in a better way and most important understand themselves through reading. Some romantic
books
for example
 could help them to understand what feelings they feel and how to manage them. They can
also
 learn how to empathize with other people and interact better with them.
Thus
, they will be able to easily get into society. To conclude, children should read both, academic and non-academic
books
.
This
 will help them to gain some facilities in both academic and social fields as well as boost their creativity. Doing
this
 can lead to a generation whit excellent thinking and communication
skills
 ready to succeed in nowadays society.
