Pagbasa: Susi sa Magandang Kinabukasan

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go." 

Generations of children have been lured into an appreciation of books and reading by works at the same time that their brains were being exposed to the cadence and rhyme that we now understand is so important for the development of literacy.

Reading is important because it develops the mind. The mind is a muscle. It needs exercise. Understanding the written word is one way the mind grows in its ability. Teaching young children to read helps them develop their language skills. It also helps them learn to listen. Everybody wants to talk, but few can really listen. Reading helps children (and adults) focus on what someone else is communicating.

Reading is important because words - spoken and written - are the building blocks of life. You are, right now, the result of words that you have heard or read AND believed about yourself. What you become in the future will depend on the words you believe about yourself now. People, families, relationships, and even nations are built from words. Think about it.
