VIII. Read and answer
Many people believe that watching TV has resulted in lower reading standards in schools. However, the link between TV
and printed books is not as simple as that. In many cases, TV actually encourages people to read. For example, when a
book is turned into a TV series, its sale often goes up. One study of this link examined six-year-old children viewing a special
series of 15-minute programs at school. The series was designed to encourage love of book as well as to develop the
mechanical skills for reading. Each program is an animated film of a children's book. The story is read aloud when certain
key phrases from the book appear on screen, beneath the picture. Whenever a word is read, it is also highlighted on the TV
screen. One finding was that watching these programs was very important to the children. When anything prevented them
from seeing a program, they were very disappointed. What's more, they wanted to read the books which the different parts
of the series were based on.
