Reading books for children and teenagers

Apart from creating thirst for knowledge, reading book removes feeling of sadness. It is the source of endless joy and reading expands the readers' horizon. Books keep records of civilization for enlightening the future generations.

In the recent past, people used to spend their leisure time reading books, not to mention reading textbooks. But of late, interest in reading books is declining. In fact, preoccupation with, and often addiction to, mobile phones and laptops is snatching away significant amount of time of most children and teenagers. They are hardly interested in reading books. Of course, they have to scope to read some interesting things by using gadgets but technology cannot be a complete replacement of books. It is important we motivate our children to read books for both knowledge and pleasure.
