The value of Reading

Welcome to R.A World


My blog is all about the importance of reading and showcasing my written stories based on real-life experiences.


Hello, everyone! Before I begin discussing the value of reading I'd want to encourage everyone  to smile, relax, and think positively! Let's get this started.


People nowadays live in a world where the urge to read has been displaced by new technological advancements. Throughout history, reading has always been a source of education, enjoyment, amusement, and even moral bravery. With so much more to know and comprehend, as well as the necessity for a deliberate effort to overcome dividing powers, reading has become increasingly essential in today's society. In the past, reading was neither developed or promoted. But nowadays, we don't just want to read; we want to read more and more and catch up.

Reading relaxes the mind, body, and soul. Sitting comfortably in a chair or on a couch and immersing yourself in the world of books will work wonders. Books really are a man's best mate. Reading books not only increases one's intelligence and wisdom, but it also provides a sense of enjoyment. I know sometime we encountered difficulties while reading and it's normal because we are still learning.


The importance of Reading


Reading opens the door to learning about anything and everything. It allows you to learn new things and expand your knowledge in every aspect of life that interests you. You can find a book on almost every subject you can think of, dive deep, and begin studying.


When we watch television or a movie, all of the material is shown to us on the screen; we don't have to envision it. In its purest form, a book is nothing more than words on a page, and we must rely on our imaginations to bring the words to life. This has a huge impact on our creativity and imagination. One of the most effective ways to develop your child's vocabulary and spelling skills is to expose them to a world of words. Gaining new skills when having fun has a propensity to stick and doesn't feel like work! Daily reading will help them develop their written and spoken communication skills.

Reading not only focuses your whole mind on the job at hand, but it also entertains you in the material, enhancing concentration and memory. We can relax and feel calm by fully immersing ourselves in a story.



7 Tips to Enhance Your Interest in Reading


1. Read about things that interest you.


If you're interested in what you're hearing, the sentences will come to life and you'll be inspired to learn more. You will feel fulfilled after completing a mission that you love and find important. The more you learn, the better your reading skills can get. Simply begin, and it will become a habit if you are interested in what you are reading.


2. Begin with books that are easy to understand.


Our brain functions like a muscle. It was not being seen if it was not being read on a daily basis in the previous three months. And, if you immediately start reading a difficult-to-understand novel, your brain soon becomes exhausted. As a result, it seeks to come up with as many reasons as possible to avoid reading the books. This is why some people begin reading a book but just read the first chapter. As a result, begin with a book that is easy to understand.


3. Understand WHAT you're reading.


Are you reading for pleasure or to gain knowledge? If you decide why you're reading before you begin, you'll see a significant improvement in your comprehension and enjoyment.


4. Set reading goals


You should set reading goals for yourself to help you expand your vocabulary, achieve a better comprehension of various texts, and strengthen your ability to relate what you read to your own thoughts and ideas.


5. Find a quiet place.


Find a quiet spot in your house where you can curl up with a nice book in a cozy chair (don't lie down because you're going to sleep). To avoid disturbances, there should be no tv or monitor near the chair, as well as no music or distracting family members/roommates. Build one if you don't already have one.


6. Recognize that the key is to read a lot.


You may use maps, Flash Cards, or other memory systems accessible on the Internet or elsewhere to create a scheme for keeping track of new words you hear in your reading. However, reading as much as you can would be the most effective way to improve your vocabulary and reading skills. As a result, learn to love reading and read often. Continue reading to improve your reading skills.


7. Allow your imagination to roam free.


Good readers lose themselves in their books and let their imaginations roam free. Learn to enjoy your reading without confronting or questioning it excessively. It would only distract from the sensual pleasure of reading. You don't need to forecast or evaluate something. Simply enjoy and await absorbing the writer's knowledge, suggestions, and viewpoints.




I hope these will help you to read more and build a daily reading habit. God bless y'all.
