Nonfiction reading response assesment


            In the article, "Age-rated books: right or wrong?" there many kids that read the same book, but at different ages. So now there are age rated books. I think this is very wrong. Just like in the article it says, "children differ" and that is so true. That's also like taking the fun out of reading. You read because of many different reasons. Some like to just challenge themselves and read harder books on their own. However if the child has to wait a few years just to read 1 book that seems a little unfair. Then the child grows over the book, and then all of the books in their life.
          There is no same person in the world. There is no same reader either. People read in their own way/style. Children are the same. Even at different ages they can read the same book but interpret it a different way from adults. That doesn't matter. Who cares if the children read harder books. That just means they're growing as a reader. Even if the children don't understand the book fully, they're still learning.

          If there are age rated books, that means children can't expand on their reading skills. They'll also grow tired of waiting to read books fit for them even if it is harder. They won't wait for the their birthday(s) to come. They will just forget about it. Then it will become for all books. How will they take away an essential part of developing the brain because of a few bad things that happen in the book.
