Teenagers and reading

Nowadays, about 95% of the children in Spain play video games, watch TV, chat with their friends or go out with them, play on the computer or play some sports, but only 5% of the children enjoy reading. Of this 5% of children that enjoy reading, most of them read magazines or sport news paper. Just a few of this percentage enjoys reading a book.

I would like this children to know that reading is important because it's an activity with a lot of benefits, like improve your concentration, your memory or it reduces stress. You haven't got to dedicate a lot of your time reading, just when you have free time or little breaks, because in contrast to the videogames or the TV you can bring always a book with you.

I will recommend them to follow some tips to make reading enjoyable, like search for a comfortable and nice place to read, choose a good book, visualize the characters or enjoy a snack with your book.
