Most of the educated people do not like reading books, instead of reading in their free time they prefer to have an hangout with friends or love ones or just wasting their time on the gadgets.
According to media.com, 26% of children who were read to three or four times a week by a family member recognized all of the alphabet; compared to 14% of children who were read to less often.The National Education Association also reported that children who were read to more often were more likely to count to 20 or higher, (60% of those who were read to compared to 44% who were not or read to less often.) more likely to write their own names, (54% to 40%) and were more likely to read or pretend to read. (77% to 57%) Those numbers are pretty steep, showing a direct correlation between reading and milestones. (milestones equal success for a child and often for the parent as well.) In fact, children’s academic success aged 9 and 10 can be linked to the amount of words they hear from birth through the age of 3. But yet, the National Education Association reported that in 1999 only about 53% of children aged 3 to 5 were read to every day by a family member.
It has been proven that children who read better, preform better in school and have a more active imagination, leading to a larger world and more possibilities for success. My mother taught me to read before I enter preschool.Even in classes that were not my strong suit, being able to at least read the material well and understand it to the best of my ability often saved me. But, you probably don’t want to read about one person’s story, because everyone is different.Educators have said for years how important reading is for students success which is quite true. However, it is more that. Reading is important for life success. The more you know, the smarter you grow, so pick something up and read!
