Books V/s Digital

Why do people say that books are man's best friend? Reading is necessary because when we read we enjoy reading them and also benefit us by improving our reading skills and vocabulary. It also takes us to many places sitting in our house or library. It is way better than digital because the devices don't help us in any way and also spoil our eyesight. If you read a book without light it may also spoil our eyesight so, we should sit under proper light and read plenty of books. There are many types of books to read which are written by famous authors.

Now I want to share my experience with books and how they have helped me. When I was in Pre-Primary I faced problems in spelling and my vocabulary was very low. But, when I became around 5 years then I started reading books like Akbar & Birbal, Tenali Rama and so on I started learning bigger words and it also increased my vocabulary and my father encouraged me to read, when we were travelling he would ask me to read the hoarding boards and in restaurants, the menu cards. Also he made sure that before going to school I read the newspaper headlines. My first big book was THE THIRTEENTH PEARL From the Nancy Drew series by Carolyn Keene. And the first new word I found in the Famous Five series was Ingots which means gold bricks.
