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.

Nowadays, a number of people reckon that students should read merely high-level intelligence books. Meanwhile, their opponents point out that general fiction plays a significant role in developing children and it should be read in equivalent proportions with scientific books. On the one hand, a lot of parents want that their kids assimilate as much as possible amount of knowledge while they are studying at school. For this reason, they believe that textbooks, encyclopedias, scientific magazines are the best way to achieve this goal. Furthermore, all that fundamental knowledge from scientific works will provide a prosperous life for the young generation in the future. For example, the latest survey displays that children fairly easy understand sophisticated theories and remember them even after graduated the school. On the other hand, numerous books with exciting plots involve young readers and at the same time make develop their imagination. These types of books describe diverse life situations with all possible consequences. Each child can imagine themself in the place of the main hero and transmit their experience from book’s pages to real-life conditions. For instance, psychologists say that children who read a lot of belletristic literature develop simultaneously their interpersonal skills and solve all their conflicts through conversation. To conclude, despite the fact that some individuals insist on the priority of reading scientific literature by children, their opponents support the idea that the reading process should evoke only desire from children. From my point of view, reading exclusively scientific books can provoke negative emotion from child and even a bright perspective will not inspire them to read and study. In this way, ordinary child books which they read with pleasure will strike a balance in this reading process.
