Why is reading important in one’s life?

The written word and the ability to read are the culmination and the very foundation of human civilization. These complex brain functions are what ensure critical thinking, on a secondary level, and allow the development of science, technology and society’s evolution. These is proven by research in various countries and by various organizations.

Knowing that reading is a tool for life, how can we help our children develop the best reading and comprehension skills? How can we ensure a life-long love of reading?
