a waste of time .
In contrast
, they believe that

I will explain why and draw my own conclusion.
First
of all, in terms of the drawbacks of giving
children
specific
books
to read
such
as academic
books
,that will affect their personality and their freedom to choose what topics and
books
they like.
For example
, kids who are not allowed for them to read entertaining
books
such
as cartoon
stories
and other famous
stories
for
children
,they have limited imagination and thinking and they will defiantly feel bored when they read serious
books
. The reason behind
this
is that
children
who love reading and are the more knowledgeable start, in the beginning, reading exciting
books
and
then
they start to read more educational
books
step by step.
Moreover
, there are many benefits of allowing
children
to read
stories
or novels.
Firstly
, they might extend their vocabulary and they can improve their reading and writing skills.
This
is because the
stories
for the young know how to steal
children
’s attention and they will like to read more and more. In conclusion,
although
educational and academic
books
are incredibly crucial for kids . I believe that parents should give their
children
the freedom to read the
books
that they are interested in .
