"Read everything you find on your way, the street signs, the shops..." That's what my grandmother told me when I was learning to read and today, 45 years later, I still do it.

Why read? The need to read is a dogma that children have in their heads. We must read to learn, to succeed in studies, to inform ourselves, to know who we are, where we live, where we are going, to know the memory of the past, so as not to repeat the nonsense of grandparents, to escape, to find meaning in life, to save time, to take advantage of previous experiences, to illuminate our present, to understand the foundations of our civilization, to feed our curiosity, to distract ourselves, to inform us, to cultivate ourselves, to communicate, to exercise our critical spirit.  ...and why in silence? «Strange disappearance of reading aloud.

A correct development of this ability will allow the child, among other things,...

If the didactic material is children's textbooks, why is it taxed at 21% and the other books at 4%?

While it is true that not all school supplies are for exclusive use in schools, since we all use erasers and pencils in the office and at home, it is also true that school supplies are not only reduced to that. Sticking to the children's area, along with all the consumable school supplies that parents buy at the beginning of the course (pencils, notebooks and backpacks...) there are also the teaching methods that schools buy, as if they were books, to explain how practical way the basic concepts to our children. For this reason, between the ages of 3 and 5, the age when a person learns the most, teachers use multiple materials, some free, such as leaves, stones, earth,...
