Children watch plays and puppet shows designed for their enjoyment. And yet, written versions of plays are not as common for children's reading as stories and poems are. What is it about plays that might account for this lack?

Answer:

Plays are more in depth with themes and context.

Step-by-step explanation:

Puppet shows or plays can be performed to convey themes or messages, which children will understand and remain interested. This is because the visual image is easy for them to comprehend and relate to. Children mostly learn by using sight from the moment they are born. Many children that are young cannot create a story in their head when reading and have a difficult time extracting context from written text. A play is written in a different format than a book. This format change makes it very diffcult for children to read a play and absorb not only who is speaking, but at the same time create a mental image.
