Importance of Reading in a Child’s education

A community with a strong foundation is a step closer to a successful nation. What better way to strengthen one's nation than to shape their children with utmost love and importance. Children have a profound talent for learning new things. They come and go through places and pick up bits of pieces of information that help build who they will become in the future. 

As such, it is highly necessary that we allow our children to grow through mediums that affiliate their minds to the great body of knowledge available for them for consumption. Thus, the importance of reading in a child's education.

Why is it essential for a child to read and re-read everything they learn? Why is it necessary for adults to pave children's way toward a knowledgeable future built with proper information and access their inner creativity through the many literary pieces available throughout history?

A child is but a sapling of a great tree waiting to be nurtured. Their capabilities are never limited, and the possibilities for their future are endless. If we do it right, children will ought to grow magnificently in the best place possible. 

Be it in a humble home in the woods to the great halls of a palace, children are clays yet to be molded by the environment around them. Such is the fate of high leaders and their destinies to lead humanity to a better tomorrow. Walt Disney would not have created the Disney world if his friends and family did not support him through his endeavors, and so did Dr. Seuss. 

I believe in the saying, "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." - Frederick Douglass.

The fact that we are responsible for our children's growth is one thing that should encourage us to step our lullabies further. The importance of reading in a child's imagination will spike their interests in this big, big world. The task to equip our children with the knowledge they so deserve to know is like preparing our own soldiers for war. We never know how strong they will become if we let ourselves be their teachers. What better way to show them what is waiting for them than through books!
