As a child, my parents always read a bedtime story. We always got to choose. We read picture books. It is a continuing tradition in my family to read lots of books. My great- grandma loved all types of literature. Up until the day she died she devoured books. Thus, it is very important to read and to be read to in my family. Now that we are older, we don't do much reading out loud. However, sometimes we'll start a new chapter book. The last one that we read together was "The Chronicles of Narnia."
I think that it is really important to be introduced to a wide variety of books at a young age. The older you get; the less time you have. Finding time to do the things you like is easier though. If you know a good book and the genre you like, you'll find the time! It's important to read! It can take you anywhere at any time. Books give you insight, information, knowledge and a sense of culture. Having these can be vital. Reading is a good way to be self- entertained.
