3 out of 10 children in the UK ''own no books''
A recent research reveals that a high number of boys and girl have no books for themselves, which seems to be worrying for their future prospects. 3 out of 10 children within the UK own no single book of their own. This research is done by the National Literacy, who also claims that boys are less likely to have books than girls. The survey also says that 4 in 10 boys do not have any books, and 3 in 10 girls do not own any books either. This survey took place last year around November and December, with children between 11 and 13 years old.

I hate reading with a passion, but I do think that everyone needs to read a book once in a while. Especially children need to get used to reading, because it will definitely come back throughout their whole life. There is no way of avoiding it, so best would be to start reading as soon as they can. Therefore I think that having books at home will be better for young children, since I think the beginning stage of reading is most important.

Personally I love reading, so I think this is staggering. When I was between 11 and 13 I had many books. Reading does help in many apsects of life. It enhanced voacbulary, and imagination. The most effective manner to handle this is to let schools give more books to children.
