Reading Programs

Why Reading is Important

Through reading the content of a book, children can expand their life experiences and understand the world outside. Through the characters' feelings in the book, they can understand the thoughts of others, discover the differences between others and themselves, develop empathy, and promote healthy interpersonal communication. With the guidance of words and pictures, children are motivated to think critically. Voracious reading can also enhance language ability, which is the basis for other subjects.
