Text Books Should Be Taught In Schools

Improved Essays
Students used to read many different types of books, however, it appears to parents as useless material and waste of time. For instance, Harry Potter Books once was among the best seller books in Australia. Because parents limit their kids only to curriculum textbooks and homework, now fiction and novel book selling revenue in Australia has dropped dramatically. I oppose the view that we should limit our children to read other books than curriculum textbooks. We even should aim that children start reading at an earlier age with their parents.

Reading is the key skill for developing other skills. For example, by reading more your writing will improve. Students, by reading more entertaining books such as novels will be more alluring to other

    As Marcus Tullius Cicero, a Roman philosopher, once said, "A room without books is like a body without a soul.” Books have the capability to be any person's escape from reality and no book should ever be subjected to the term "banned". Every book has at least one good thing to offer, no matter how great or small. All the reader has to do is give the book a chance and find that one thing. The novel The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger, is one such book that should be taught in high school.…

    Many people also agree with them on this issue, but they push for students to read difficult text and form conclusions on these books by themselves. Many students are not ready at such a young age to use reading as such a powerful tool. In Prose writing she says teens enjoy the complicated stories that are considered classics, but this is not always the case.

It is said that adolescents are extremely impressionable, and because of this it is believed by some that adolescents should not be exposed to topics and ideas of…

    Surveys were put out in between 1937 and 2002 to see the percentage of people who read books. The survey concluded that the earlier years the percentage was high and people read. When it came in the 20th century that percentage became higher and higher. In “Twilight of the Books” the author, Caleb Crain argues that people are beginning to be looser on reading in the twentieth century. There are arguments in multiple paragraphs that conclude that Americans are reading less and they are losing the ability to read well which go with the survey’s conclusion.…

    Let people read what they want. If it clashes with a religion or beliefs (), those children do not have to read it, they can have an equally interesting book that is considered alright for them. Reading material is a personal choice for individuals, and that should not be taken away because of somebody else’s personal preferences for their own family (). When a teenager actually wants to read, which is very rarely, there should be nothing stopping that fountain of knowledge between them. If a parent does not want their children reading certain content, many private schools have the right to withhold books, especially religious schools ().…

    I hate that Americans are taught to fear some books and some ideas as thought they were diseases – Kurt Vonnegut. Banning books has a negative effect on children and deprives them of fueling their minds. Studies do show that many books are unhealthy to these children’s mind. In Addition to this, students depend on their teachers to be able to have a brighter future ahead of them. However, we cannot put so many young people or anybody at risk.…

    In his speech, “Why our Future depends on libraries, reading, and daydreaming” Neil Gaiman discusses the importance of reading books fostering literacy and imagination, especially for children. Whether it is fiction or non-fiction or any other genre, Gaiman supports people’s freedom of reading whatever they desire. Reading can only be beneficial in the end and people can learn much from books. Gaiman’s reasoning and use of rhetoric allow his argument to be persuasive to the audience he is presenting to. His main purpose is that more people should have a desire to read in this modern world even with the rapid rise of technology, not only to gain knowledge and learn but to allow their imagination to run free and become an intelligent citizen of society.…
