According to JoEllen Fisherkeller almost every household in America has at least one television set while others have at least two or more. She also points out that many Americans seem to spend most of their time watching television instead of using computers or reading a book (596). Television is also the most devoted source of mass media to children. There have been many research studies done to examine the effects that television has on children. …showed first 75 words of 1049 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1049 total…not only by broadcasting movies or a series on which the book version exists, but also through book review programs in which children learn about new publications.” (Koolstra & Voort, 1996, 4). I feel this would work because if there were television programs based on children’s books they would be more interested in reading that book. I believe that watching more productive television programs that are suitable for children would spur their interest in reading. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
