PART B_2

Teachers often use literature for language learning. Through reading books, students learn new information that could be used in their everyday lives. They learn new vocabulary and how to use them in a sentence. Literature also helps them improve their reading and writing skills.
Literature is also a tool to teach children how to deal with and understand their feelings and of other people. Most children’s books show characters that are kind and generous. Children copy what they usually see, so by reading these kinds of stories, they learn how to be kind. This way, they could build a good relationship with the people around them. So, teachers and parents should not get tired of doing their part by helping children see the value of literature.
