In fact children that were read a story a night yielded higher school success opposed to children that did not. There comes a limit to this too though. A child has a limited understanding in our language, so it is recommended to start off with a picture book. Children have a wonderful imagination especially when they’re very young. Often times the child can imagine the story as if it were a movie. Young kids do love picture books or books in general because books are like T.V in your mind.

Reading will keep kid's brains active or even listening to people say the story will do. So bedtime stories will help kids in the future of their reading when they get older. Knowing this we can tell that it is enjoyable for them in the present and will be enjoyable for them in the future. The brain has different levels of activation.

When I was eight or nine years old, I decided I wanted to be a writer. By this age, I had already gone through the phases of wanting to be an artist, a cook, an astronaut and was extremely satisfied with my new choice of profession. After all, I loved to read so why not write? Reading was my true love: during second grade, I conquered all of Harry Potter over the course of two months. My mom’s rule was that I had to read the book before watching the movie, so I read and read. I would compete in, and win, all the school reading competitions as well as the summer library competitions. Writing, I decided, was the next natural step.

Books are educated in the school because they are meant to teach kids literature with abominable things that happen may happen in this world. In procon.org, they give a good argument point against banning books by saying, “Many frequently challenged books help people get a better idea of the world and their place in it.” As you can see, negative things aren’t the only subjects that are taught to the students. The students can also learn to literature based on analyzing the plot, and create new ideas that they could later on use in the future. Parents shouldn’t worry too much about what their child(ren) are reading since they are given more knowledge when they learn in their English

There are definitely books that children should not read, but most do so much for us educationally. Books taught children to read and write.

In the essay, “In Defense of Graphic Novels”, Kathryn Strong Hansen explains the different opinions about using graphic novels in a classroom. When most people hear of a graphic novel, they assume it’s a comic book and that it has no relevance in a classroom. Because they have pictures, they also assume that they are meant for children. Hansen explains, however, that students can analyze graphic novels the same way they would a prose-only novel. She also states that low level reading students could benefit from reading graphic novels. Because they can be used to help struggling students, students who are doing well believe that graphic novels are too easy of a read. It could also

“Reading is important, because if you can read, you can learn anything about everything and everything about anything.”, said Tomie DePaola. Some book may have thing in them that someone people may think that it is not appropriate for some kids. Books and novels teach important lessons to kids even if they might have some bad content. Kids are able to access the internet wherever they go and they could be exposed to many things that are far worse than bad words written on a page. When someone reads a book they might not be appropriate, like they might be too depressing or too sexual but if you look at the main points of the book and really look and understand what they are trying to say you see that at the end they always have a lesson and

When I was younger my mom use to read me a children 's book every night at bedtime. I remember when I was in Junior Kindergarten she once read me a Disney classic book called “The Jungle Book” and after reading the book for months I had thought if the main character "Mowgli" could talk to animals so could I, that was until I went to the Toronto Zoo. I tried to talk to the Giraffe and the Giraffe wouldn 't talk back to me. I was baffled. That was the first time 3-year-old Monika could distinguish nonfiction to fiction. I never looked at a book the same. Children believe everything you tell them. Writers may be running out of material, But the content needs to be the reality. I also understand the writer 's point of view of running out of ideas, But children need to read real books.

However, when kids have low self-esteem, they aren't strong readers and that can discourage them from wanting to read. But these type of books are a great way to promote literacy. Naturally, administrators do not want to give ESL or ELA students “picture books.” Kids would reject that and deem it embarrassing because that is how comic books were so generally perceived. However, a comic book at a lower reading level might give kids the reading confidence they need while boosting their reading and language skills. This is true even among a higher level of education or corporal business as explained in a graphic presentation of an empirical examination of the graphic novel

Reading develops a person’s creativity. Unlike movies where everything is determined by the producer, writer and director, books allow students to create in their minds how a particular character looks like or imagine how a scene plays out.
