Many teens in Wayne Hills despise reading all the time. They don’t know the fun they’re missing out on, and even the benefits of reading. Reading at a young age can develop your language skills and expand your vocabulary. People misunderstand and misconceive the fun of reading because of school.

As we interviewed many students in Wayne Hills, they say that they don’t like reading because it bores them. We asked them why it bores them and they said that they have to learn about it and get tested on it in school.

“I don’t really have time for reading and it’s kind of boring,” said freshman Sabrina Bateman.

Teens don’t like reading because of school. This is why you should try reading a book in your genre instead of reading a mandatory book for school and thinking you don’t like books..

Books can help you increase your memory and help you discover your creative side. Students tend to read books only for school, making them associate it negatively with reading.

When students choose the books they like to read and experiment with new books, finding what they like to read can be just as fun as watching TV.

As Mrs. Caldwell , a librarian at Wayne Hills, said,  “Reading expands your vocabulary and makes the world around you more empathetic.”

To conclude this topic, teens criticize reading because of school, and we recommend exploring new book topics that you may like, and which genres suit your taste. Teens’ reading can improve their future and success rate because it improves the strength of their brains. A book we would recommend in Binding 13 by Chloe Walsh is you like a good romance novel.
