Doing an enjoyable activity with a child can help them develop better skills and more

creativity than reading. To what extent do you agree? Use reasons and specific
examples to explain your answer.

It is argued that in order to facilitate the child’s imagination and skills they should engage in more
enjoyable activities than reading. Although I acknowledge reading has its own merits, the benefits
children reap through participating in different fun-based activities are far more than simply reading
books.

Those who are in favour of reading claim that children can enhance their skills and creativity much
better than by doing any other activities. This is because most of the books are without illustrations
or images and the reader has to think, concentrate and fantasize the story in order to feel the
characters and comprehend the ideas of the writer. This as a result, leads to the sharpening of a
memory and better thinking ability. It is also argued that since books are written by experts who are
well aware of the needs of the children. They bring their expertise and generate books that are
especially designed for the children and have proper phrases and vocabulary, which is crucial for
their creative and intellectual learning.

However, despite the aforementioned benefits, in my opinion, recreational activities play an


indispensable in enhancing the creativity and imagination of a child. To be more precise, each child is
‘’unique and has interest in different pastimes. Some prefers playing outdoor games while others are
more in to drawing, painting or playing with blocks. Therefore, by involving them in those activities
in which they are interested, they will think and come up with unique ideas that this allows them to
develop their own creative personality. For instance, when a child is given paints, they are
encouraged to express themselves through art and create something that is their own surely which
is not possible through reading. Also, these activities if done in group enhances social skills, problem
solving strategies and fine motor skills of a child.

To conclude, despite the benefits of reading for imagination, I would argue that a more active
undertaking has numerous advantages. Parents should encourage a balance but prioritize activities
in which they are interested and requires greater levels of engagement.
