- Gives answers to questions. At the age of 10 years, the child has more difficult questions than before. His horizon becomes wider, and therefore curiosity is stronger. Literature will expand the outlook of the schoolboy.
- Promotes understanding of information. If after completing the reading of the stories, the child will analyze them, it will help him develop analytical skills that will be useful to him in high school.
