Getting into Reading
While writing on Quora yesterday, one of the members happened to ask me an interesting question: Do you think that children reading entertainment books are a waste of time and they should read serious educational books instead? After thinking about this for a little while, here was my response: "Hi! Thanks for asking me this question - I just realized how my parents creatively got me into reading. As a kid, I remember reading comics like Tinker and Chacha Chaudhary. Later, my parents also got me storybooks like Panchatantra and Aesop fables. I think they wanted me to first engage myself in reading (via comic books) and get habituated to it. Once I was used to reading, I automatically happened to read the educational (Panchatantra and Aesop fables) as well without them instructing. I think their strategy worked for me. :P Thanks!
