- Gives an idea of more complex terms. If in elementary school the book gave the child a general idea of peace, friendship, good and evil, then literature in secondary school raises more serious problems.
- Develops horizons. This contributes to better progress in school. The child also develops critical thinking, learning to give examples and arguments, which he learns from the works of the authors.
- Develops analytical skills. If the child after reading the book analyzes it and draws conclusions, then he develops his analytical skills. This will help him make the right decisions in difficult situations.
- Prepares for school. Many people, not just children, notice that if you do not study or read for a long time, you begin to feel uncomfortable, and it's more difficult to return to school. To prevent this from happening to the child, you need to give a few minutes of reading each day.
All this is already a sufficient argument for the child to read in the summer. Make sure there is enough motivation so that it is not a torment for the child.
