Reading Is So Important for Children

Encouraging children to read is crucial for developing writing skills, conversational skills, and becoming a well-rounded individual. Despite the challenges posed by smartphones and technology, schools are making efforts to promote reading through initiatives like 'speed reads.' Incorporating reading into a child's routine can help them explore the world, meet different people, and broaden their horizons. Schools, like Makayla, have been struggling for eight years to foster a culture of reading among students, acknowledging the difficulty in a tech-dominated era where smartphones offer more visually stimulating content than books.
