Promotion of Reading

Aims

Reading is important because it develops student’s mind. It is how students discover new things. Reading develops their imagination and critical thinking which are the most important generic skills students should have. With reading, they can go anywhere in the world...or even out of it! They can be a king, or a historical character, or a princess. The possibilities are endless. Non-readers never experience these joys to the same extent.
