HIGHLIGHTS
The advent of modern technology has undeniably
affected the interest and likes of the people especially
the young minds. The benefit of having something in
a snap of a finger adds to their apt indolence to give
more time and effort. One conspicuous effect, though
reasons may vary, is children’s lack of interest in
reading. For some, reading is not fun. In an era when
instant is a trend, reading is boring. But this should
not be the case for reading is one of the fundamental
skills one should efficiently develop. Reading is
important for a variety of reasons. First, it develops
the mind. As what Sir Richard Steele said, “Reading
is to mind what exercise is to the body.” Our mind is
a muscle thus it needs to be exercised. The ability to
understand and decode messages nourishes our
brain. Aside from this, reading also helps us discover
and unfold learning. It broadens one’s imagination
and widens one’s horizon. It is a skill that can be
used as a weapon in this battle called life.
To accentuate the essence of reading especially to
the pupils, as a support to the celebration 0f 2022
