50 years ago – Children read a lot. They read moral and spiritual books. They read
animal stories.
After 50 years – I do not think they will do any reading. All the time will be spent in
front of computers.
11. Do you think children have lost their interest in stories?
No, I don’t think that children have lost their interest in stories. However, the stories
they read today are very different from those in the past.
12. Can storybooks be an ideal gift for children?
Yes, definitely! Storybooks can be an ideal gift for children. They can help the child
imagine the characters in the mind, which is the first step to creativity. Another
important benefit is that we can impart the knowledge of culture, tradition, moral
values and religion in the mind of the child. This forms the basis of the child’s
personality. Finally, storybooks enhance the curiosity of the child and enhance their
mental growth.
13. What can be done to encourage the habit of reading among children?
A lot can be done to encourage the habit of reading among children. The first and
foremost step would be to make books available. There should be good libraries in
the schools as well as in neighbourhoods. Story telling competitions could be
organised. If children have to take part in these competitions, then naturally, they
would be encouraged to read books. Finally, books could be made more
interesting by adding graphics.
14. How does reading help a child?
Reading helps to improve concentration. It also helps to improve general
knowledge. It also improves the language skills and satisfies the curiosity of
children on various things.
15. What sort of books can be suggested to children to read?
Children should be encouraged to read religious and historical books. They should
also read biographies and autobiographies of famous people so that they get
motivation from them. They should also be encouraged to read books on science
and technology. However, these books should be made very interesting by adding
pictures.
16. How much should a child read every day?
A child should read half to one hour daily. I think that would be enough considering
that they have to go to school and do their homework as well.
17. What is the difference between the books sold in the past and the books sold
nowadays?
In the past, books related to culture, tradition, religion and history were sold.
Nowadays, books are mostly based on fiction and fantasy. Ebooks have become
very popular nowadays as compared to the printed books.
