Some parent believes that reading books for entertainment is a waste of time for children and they think that their children should read only serious educational books.


One of the most controversial issues related to reading books nowadays is the question that should children read books to widen their academic knowledge or just to be entertained? This essay will further explain that a balanced time between the two may enhance students’ creative thinking skills and knowledge.

First and foremost, there are undeniable reasons why students need to read books for entertainment. Since most students claim that educational book materials may be stressful at times, switching to entertainment books such as comics and magazines may relieve stress. Moreover, books for leisure may enhance students’ creativity that would be applied at school or in their early lives. Take my friend for instance, the way she relaxes after school is to read pocketbook. In this way, she does not only feel refreshed and revitalized but also learn how to deal with daily life’s problems and challenges.



However, it is also clear that as students, they should not lose focus on acquiring knowledge by reading educational materials. This would prepare them to have sufficient knowledge and skills in order for them to ace this challenging and modern world. It also important to note that reading academic books widens children’s vocabulary improves their grammar and acquires new languages.


Taking everything into account, in order for children to be well-rounded people, they should spend a balanced time in reading academic and entertainment books.
