The book is more magical.

probably watch the film, but also read the book with the help of an adult so why not do both. Read through
the book with the children they can read some parts you others. Then take them to the film and discuss differences best parts. characters. were the characters the same in the book as in the film. This way you really will be giving them the best you can

Kids prefer to watch the film than read the book. Some children don't know how to understand some sentences in the book rather than watching the movie, they surely gonna love it.

The child would probably prefer watch a film, it's the easy option and at that age the child doesn't appreciate the value of the three R's. Parents can change that perception by spending more time with their children. Make reading fun, sit with your child and read the book with them. Sitting the kids in front of the TV and leaving them to it while we get on with our busy lives is part of the reason families are breaking down.

The consensus, thankfully, seems to be to read the book and then watch the film. A child's love of books begins with the attention provided by parents. Reading a book to a child always gave me as much pleasure as it did, I hope, to my children. Certainly they are all avid readers now but also - and correctly - enjoy a good film.

I would say the movie, the wrath of modernization is strengthening. Movies are now improving greatly with the new technology while books are still......books. Of course, it would be easier to see something moving for you rather than just reading something you have to conjure an image of all by yourself. Children of that particular age are more likely to be attached to the TV. A study has been released that the faster the scenes shift in a show you're watching makes you more liable to be impatient. Now, why would you sit and read a book with such slow scenes that you have to work for to imagine?

I think its very dependant on the child - my daughter is fairly fussy about what you deems readable (8 years old) and her main thing is how fast paced and interesting the story is and the length of the book but as a self confessed book worm i tend to try and get her books first and movies later.
If its something thats likely to be really popular i.e. Harry Potter i buy the movie (as often we have seen it ) and then encourage her to read the book and see what bits got left out

I think they prefer to see the film, however I think it's good for them to read the book as there is more detail and they can use their imagination.

Better cultivate the habit of reading books as it might prove to be a good companion in later part of life. If the child is a little enjoyable in nature good cartoon or sci-fi movies can be made to see. But with my experience most of them prefer to see movies as it is more interesting than reading lifeless books.But make him/her understand the usefulness of books.

I would get them to read the book initially and then treat them to see the film.

The pessimist in me would say they'd rather watch the film, but the optimist says they'd rather read the book.
