Why in childhood?
Kids need to be read books in childhood because that is the basics to learning how to read and write by being familiar with words and letters. showing pictres with stories helps kids to learn words. from the actual stories kids learn alphabet, colors, shapes, numbers and certain expectations for society. kids need to learn to use their imagination.
Why later in life?
People read after high school if they are going to college or further studies. also in jobs such as publishing or education you are required to read novels, picture books and short stories. people around my parents age (40s-50s) read books for self help and to get smarter. I know from experience that its good to read and keep your brain later in life. My grandmother has alzhiemers and when she began old age she stopped reading as much as she had before and that may have postponed her alzheimers.
Why in OUR nation?
In our nation literature is highly regarded. there are many highly prized american book awards given out each year. Kids in elementary are taught to read and already beging writing small pargraphs by the first grade. This nation wants nothign more but to haave strong learners who can read and write strongly. In this time in our nation writing (more than ever) lets citizens express their feelings without limits.
MY stories
When i was young some favorite stories of mine included- the little fur people, courdoroy, where the wild things are, goodnight moon, and pat the bunny. The little fur people makes me think of my mom. she used to read it to me a lot before i went to bed. it's a small book thats covered in grey fur and its about little people that look like bears. Pat the bunny was another touch and feel book. you would feel the dads beared, look in a mirror, and the pat the bunnys furry tummy. these books all remind me of my mom because she always read me books .
Characteristics of a GREAT story:
1) it should have pictures- if its a text book or something wordy. if its an adult novel that just means the writing is not as descriptive as it could be. if it has pictures.
2)an overal theme thats relateable
3) a moral or a lesson
4) drama/ conflicts that make the story believeable
5) relateable charactres
6)funny comic relief
7) a romantic interest will keep anyone interested in the story.

Kara,I defintitly agree that a story with a lot of drama is fun to read and that so is a novel with romantic interests. I also really liked the book Where the Wild Things Are!
