Why Become a Regular Reader?Many people believe that reading is the very heart of education.Here is what they say:1. Reading provides language power. Research has shownbeyond question that frequent reading improves vocabulary,spelling, grammar, writing style, and reading speed and comprehension.If you become a regular reader, all of these languageand thinking abilities develop almost automatically!2. Reading increases the chances for job success. In today’sworld more than ever, jobs involve processing information,with words being the tools of the trade. Studies have foundthat the better your command of words, the more success youare likely to experience. Nothing gives you a command of wordslike regular reading.3. Reading creates human power. Reading enlarges the mindand the heart. It frees us from the narrow confines of our ownexperience. Knowing how other people view important mattershelps us decide what we ourselves think and feel. Readingalso helps us connect with others and realize our sharedhumanity. Someone once wrote, “We read in order to knowthat we are not alone.” We become less isolated as we share thecommon experiences, emotions, and thoughts that make ushuman. We grow more sympathetic and kind because we realizethat others are like us.And for many people, reading is a source of real pleasure,opening the door to a lifetime of pleasure and adventure. Bytaking the time to walk through that door, you too may findthat one of the great experiences of life is the joy of reading forits own sake.96
