No one can deny that reading is really really important. Sometimes I envy with people who able to read a lot and find it easy to understand what they read, because I am not. I need to struggle to understand things and I have to reread it multiple times before I can understand something. But, it does not discouraged me from stop reading. As time goes, now, I find reading is something joyful. Even once, there was this book, so bored, but i could not let it down. I kept reading it until I finish. Oh, I found out also that it is a good activity during free time instead of watching television.
Somehow, reading also avoid me from thinking unnecessary thought that haunting me. It likes bringing me to another world. Oh, if only I could tell my students how rewarding is to read.
Now, because there are so many entertainment, gadget, and games, reading has been seen as less important and it is so hard to draw students to take interest in reading. They are much more interest to have something fun and engaging unlike reading whereby you have to read, most preferable sit at quite place and concentrate which is harder to do than just sit in front of television and enjoy the pure entertainment. I know because I have been there multiple times.
Here are the links for parents and teachers who like to teach their children and students that reading can be very beneficial, rewarding and entertaining too.
