Specialists are clear that the best stage to get hooked on reading is during childhood and young adulthood. For a boy or girl, being able to read is just a milestone that marks the beginning of a long journey that will last a lifetime. Young people who have a successful first introduction to books always want to repeat it and begin a journey that will transform them into readers. Curiosity at these ages is boundless and is accompanied by a wealth of discoveries, experiences, and learning that they can apply throughout their lives.
