“Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.” – Margaret Fuller
To many, it’s the smell of the books; to others, it’s the sound of rustling of pages, and to few others, it’s the feel of a book. What gets you?
Reading is an important activity to keep oneself engaged updated and educated. For children, it’s a key area for development. Reading for pleasure is also said to be a determiner for doing well in academics or at the workplace. Reading entails, making sense of what is printed, comprehending the whole and the parts of the text that is being read. Studies have also shown that there are fewer instances of cognitive decline with age among life-long readers.
Now talking about reading books in a language that one is newly trying to learn, tickles the brain into learning new vocabulary, understanding grammar concepts all along while trying to make sense of what is written in the piece.
