favourite form to read
Little Henry's eyes widened as he scanned the line, 'There's no need to feel schadenfreude about your rival's failure; instead, focus on your own...' He muttered to himself, 'What's this grammar? I can't even pronounce it!' He fidgeted with the book, unsure of what to do next. Just then, a gentle voice intervened. 'Have you tried checking the books in the kids' section? There should be something suitable for your age.' The librarian escorted him to a different department, filled with books and children around his age. 'I recommend Black Beauty or Heidi,' she suggested. 'As for schadenfreude, it means taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune. Don't be afraid to ask for help with tricky words. You might even find a reading buddy over there.' With that, she left the room, leaving Henry to enjoy his new book, which was in a format he loved and had fewer challenging words.

You wrote something interesting, and I wonder why you picked the word "schadenfreude". Unlike the librarian, I would not tell him to read books for his age. Stimulated to read and improv,e we only are if we read what isn't easy but attracts us.
I noticed that word lingering in my mind when I began the freewrite.( I just recently saw it though, I didn't even know such word exist before)
You’re absolutely right—growth comes from overcoming challenges.
