Some people think that children should only read academic books. others believe that reading books for entertainment is equally important. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion
Children
usually prefer to read non-academic books
, while
their parents often have their own opinions on it. Some adults believe that their kids
should only read books
from the school list and ignore any other books
. However
, there are also
people who think that books
for entertainment are also
as significant for children
as academic reading. Both
these points of view have a lot of advantages and disadvantages. Despite the fact that I totally agree with people who consider fiction as a serious literature that matters, this
essay with discuss both
sides of this
topic.
Some people prefer to ignore the fact that children
need some entertainment in their lives, so it would be easier for the older generation to make kids
read only "special" literature which, no doubt, they think is way better for the young minds only because it ranged as an academic one. I know some families where offspring have never read fairy tales or childish books
, but at 10 years old have already read books
about chemistry at the university level, even if the child does not like chemistry at all and wants to be an actress. These youngsters are some of the smartest kids
in their class, they know almost every single thing from students' books
. Nevertheless
, they have no idea who Cinderella is, and why other kids
are scared of the Blue Beard. Those heirs may be geniuses, but they are unfortunate.
At the same time, another part of the adult world believes that academic and non-academic books
are equally essential for young persons and their minds. They prefer to let their kid have the right to choose what to read. Of course, academic reading allows us to broaden our horizons and to grow as persons. Moreover
, in some stages of education, scientific books
are even more important than fiction ones. But harmony in everything is the key to success, as my mother likes to say. If a parent does not allow his child to read fantasy, then
how does he expect his kid to find any creative way to solve the problem? The child will either try to educate himself, secretly read the Rampien in his room or, what is ,more likely to happen, will just miss this
stage of growing up, having no idea how reading can be entertainment and not work.
To sum up
, both
types of books
should be in a "reading diet" both
in cases with adults and children
. Reading is not only about learning, studying, and difficult times. It is also
about dozens of immense fantasy worlds, lifelong romance stories and childish fairy tales.Submitted by alenagorosnikova on
