Introduction

Reading is the process of taking in the sense or meaning of letters, symbols, etc., especially by sight or touch (Braille). Reading is an interesting mental activity which influences people's thinking. It is a skill to be developed and there are techniques and strategies to improve reading skils.

Reading is a multifaceted process involving such areas as word recognition, recognition of spelling, phonetics, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and motivation.

Reading enhances knowledge. Life is full of reading. The people read not only the prescribed text books but also messages in mobiles, whatsapp, facebook and other social networking websites. People keep on reading and life itself is reading from the experiences. Reading materials include the wrappers of products, advertisements, user manuals, newspapers and other learning materials. There is a saying that one who reads whatever one sees becomes a scholar.

Reading makes a complete man, writing makes an exact man and conference makes a ready man. (by Francis Bacon)

There are four kinds of reading such as scanning, skimming, intensive and extensive reading.

 

Research shows the benefits of regular reading:
Reading

• improves brain connectivity.

• increases the readers' vocabulary and comprehension.

• empowers the readers to empathize with other people.

• aids in sleep readiness.

• reduces stress.

• lowers blood pressure and heart rate.

• fights depression symptoms.

• prevents cognitive decline as one ages.
