Why is Reading and Good Literature Important?
Reading is an important skill for children to have because it helps cognitive development as well as gives us a way to receive information to learn about things around us. Reading also helps children with language development and communication skills. Reading good literature is important for children because it promotes engagement when it is content they are interested in. It also is important because giving children bad examples of literature can affect how they view reading later on.
