Finding The Perfect Book to Read

Ever read a book in school and just don't understand or like what it is about? That's okay, it happens! Sometimes we have to read books we aren't fond about but we can also read books we enjoy. There are so many books and different genres to choose from in the world! For example, some are fantasy, fiction, non-fiction, and mystery. You can find books in a library, buy them online or use a technology device, such as a Kindle and download the book. Reading books can be relaxing and is a great way to build up your vocabulary. Whether you realize it or not, reading helps in so many ways. Your brain becomes stronger when reading by being more fluent and learning new words. There are three different parts to a story, which are the beginning, middle and end. You can read a story by yourself, an adult can read to you or you can listen to a story online. It is very important to read on a daily basis. Make reading fun by picking a book that looks interesting to you!
