| When they are young children usually love stories. Reading them before bedtime is a good way to get them to relax. As they get older they then start discovering stories for themselves. The problem comes past the age of eleven and into the teenage years when reading starts to seem more like a chore rather than something that can be fun and enjoyable. This is where young adult book reviews can come in handy! The term young adult refers to books that are specifically geared towards readers who are too old for titles written for children and yet are probably a bit too young to read literature aimed at adults. It can be difficult because some readers can be hesitant about being labelled or reject things that are supposedly made for them. What is true is that a lot of the time stories are geared toward their audience. Therefore they often deal with the issues that the reader might be experiencing. This in turn means they are more likely to read the story as they are more likely to engage with the characters on an emotional level. Increasingly the more popular titles combine those issues with supernatural or fantastical elements. Some titles may have a horror element to them while others may include a science fiction or futuristic twist. There are a wide range of possible titles to suit a wide range of tastes. This does not mean boys are excluded. Indeed there are also a wide range aimed at them. Often the best way is to find something they already engage with. For example there are a lot of novelisations of video games, comics and so forth that they will want to read due to the fact it is based on something they are already familiar with. This is why reviews are useful. The type of review you need will depend on the information you want. For example there are plenty of websites that can tell you about the content of a story and whether or not that particular type of story is suitable for your children to read. It is also worth looking at several different sites when comparing viewpoints. This will allow you to get a broader sense of how well a particular title is rated. Be wary as some less scrupulous authors and companies may put in fake reviews. However these are often easier to spot. The best ones tend to be neither overly critical or overly gushing with praise. The reason that young adult books are so important is because they help to maintain a love for reading. The problem is if they get out of the habit then they may not return. This is why the right reviews can help you ensure that your children associate with reading as something they can do for themselves and not just something that has to be done in the classroom. | ||
