Reading about a topic you are interested in allows you to see it from different perspectives, to expand your knowledge base, and to excite your senses and your imagination. Especially as children are learning to read, it’s important to offer them books with topics that they are excited about. This will encourage them to continue reading and develop strong reading and comprehension skills. The same is true of older children, who often feel that reading is “boring.” Reading is much less boring when kids read books about topics that align with their interests and hobbies.
