I agree with you. I remember struggling with it in the beginning as a ten
year old. However, the accomplishment of figuring out how to read the
stories was great. The stories themselves were excellent.

I believe that reading is important for children for several reasons.
First, reading introduces new ideas and subjects. This leads to a strong
desire to learn throughout life. Next, reading requires a person to think
(unlike television which does not require much thought). You can not see
what is happening in a book - you must imagine it for yourself. A person
also has time to step back from the book and contemplate about what is being
written. I also believe that reading can make people more openminded to
learn new ideas and thoughts which may be different from their own.
Overall, reading can lead to a well rounded person with many different
interests.
