Hola people! A very Merry Christmas in advance to all! 🎅
Holiday season is fast approaching and December promises a whole lot of festive fun with Christmas and New Year celebrations happening at the same. There is no better time than the present to start planning for the upcoming holiday season.
Coming to the blog, I really have no idea when I inculcated the habit of reading. One day randomly I visited my school library, picked up a book of Enid Blyton and started reading it. Though the period was of only 30 mins, but those 30 mins turned my world upside down. I daily spent 1 hour there in library and started reading random books and finally got addicted to it. I have now my own bookshelf with lots and lots and lots of books! 😏
I have no clues that how one can develop habit in a person. But here's my take on it.
"Training a baby by the book is a good idea, only you need a different book for each baby".
~ Dan Bennet
Books play a very important part in our life. They act as the guides who guide us, inspire us, warn us and keep us on the right path. A book is a permanent companion and a good book inspires us to noble actions. But the strange thing is that our present generation has not developed its reading habits. Some have the idea that the library is a storehouse of storybooks; some think that when everything is available on the Internet, why go to the library and waste time? But friends, is there any joy, any pleasure in searching for information on the internet?
To be a lover of books, though not a bookworm, is a good thing. Teachers and parents have to be co-sponsors and co-educators in this very vital area of nurturing reading habits among school going children. The primary is the stage when the child is keen and interested to know more about the environment around him. Therefore, we have to create reading habits among children from childhood only.
Book exhibitions play an important role in furnishing several information regarding books, their quality etc. Whenever you want to give some reward for good things done, it should be in the form of a book. This not only reminds him of his achievements, but that particular book becomes his valuable gift for life. In short, if we give the right book to the right reader at the right time, it will change his life forever.
In the end, I would like to quote from Mann ~ "A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books".
Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love for knowledge comes with reading and grows with it.

Yes its really important for them. You know i somehow inculcated this habit from my father only. He used to have huge collection of hindi and english books in a drawer and i daily used to open it, but obviously didn't understand a single thing. :D
DeleteTrue, students need to inculcate the habbit of reading.
ReplyDeleteYes, true
DeleteWell said and I agree with you completely. A reading habit must be inculcated in a child from the youngest possible age. And children should also see their parents reading- that helps!
