Reading and children:
Q. What kinds of book are most popular with children in your country? Why 
do you think that is?
Well, usually children in India mostly prefer to read comic books. But there are 
some other children who prefer thrillers and detective novels and fictional 
books. The children mostly like to have the comic books for several reasons. 
The first and important feature of the comic books is that they are illustrated. 
The colourful books always attract the small children. But children who have 
entered into their teen prefer to read thrillers. Sometimes they also read 
novels of different writers as well which help them to get different ideas about 
the world. Science fictions are the other genres that the children like most but 
when the books come with some illustrations, they become more popular than 
the other books. Since the children are young in their mental faculty, the 
glittering states of the books attract them most and the comic books are 
advanced in this case. When they grow up, their tastes of reading books 
change and this is quite natural that they will move to some other genres to 
explore the realm of knowledge. 
Q. Why do you think some children do not read books very often? 
Yes, there are some children who do not prefer to read books and they are

habitually engaged with video games or use social networking sites. Besides, 
they are also attracted to television. In fact, they are not responsible as they 
lack the reading habit. It is their parents who did not inspire them in reading 
books from their early childhood. Reading is a habit and it needs to be formed 
from the early part of life. But a majority of the parents do not buy books for 
their children instead they buy smartphones for their kids so that they could 
get connected with them and everyone in virtual manners. If they had inspired 
them on reading different sorts of books, it would have been better for the 
children.
