Re: Why is Reading so important?
I agree - I have always been of the view that it takes extraordinary levels of intelligence, determination and hard work to negotiate this world without being able to read. Can you imagine ... traffic signs, medicine instructions, warning signs, menus, timetables, text messages, instructions etc etc Those of us who are fortunate enough to have had the benefit of parents and teachers who by instruction and example gifted us the great advantage of reading should be truly grateful.
I also have huge admiration for adults who later in life admit their problem with reading and go in search of a teacher or an organisation to help them. That takes true guts, courage and determination.
A world is born again that never dies.
