”Reading is the gateway to lifetime learning. In order to overcome the issue of low readership among the public, the reading habit should be cultivated since young. We want every child to have a book in his or her hands to read. If children can read and love to read, they will continue to read all their lives. Reading has a domino effect on their success in postsecondary education, careers and life. It builds their confidence, vocabulary, knowledge and creativity.
