A letter about books

Dear reader, 

When I was eleven years old I watched a movie about a brilliant girl whose mind was so sharp and vivid that she could move different objects just by looking at them. I was so impressed by the movie; it seemed to me I can do the same. The movie’s called “Matilda”. At that time I didn’t know it was based on Roald Dahl’s fantastic and entertaining novel “Matilda”.

Now being aware of this great author and his books, I suggest most of my young students to read his books. And you know, they love his books. Tutoring my students, I leave the reading part for the last 30 minutes. This 30 minutes are so precious not just for me but for my students as well. I don’t know if other teachers feel it too, but it seems like in this short period of time me and my students go to different world and it’s so intimate, it’s the moment when you feel that now you have some bonds with your students. 

One of my 9 years old student Ualikhan recently has shared with me his review of Roald Dahl's books. Hope you will enjoy it too as I did

I hope this letter will be useful for people who are keen on reading and looking for books to read together with their children or with students as in my case. Please keep in mind that time is precious and spending it doing the things that make you happy is great!

Sincerely, 
A.
