However, the link between television and printed book is not simple as that. In many cases, television actually encourages people to read: for example, when a book is turned into a TV series, its sales often go up. One study of this link examined six –year- old children who were viewing a special series of 15- minute programmes at school. The series were designed to encourage the love of books, as well as to develop the basic mechanical skills of reading. Each programme is animated film of a children’ s book. The story is read aloud while certain key phrases from the book appear on the screen, beneath the picture. Whenever a word is read, it is also highlighted on the TV screen. One finding was that watching these programmes was very important to the children. If anything prevented from seeing a programme, they were very diappointed. What’s more, they wanted to read the books which the different parts of the series were based on. 1, What do many people believe? 2, What happens if a book is turned into a TV series? . 3, Who were the subjects of the study? 4, Why was the series designed? 5, How were the children when they couldn’t see a programme?
