A love for reading is essential for academic success. According to the Department of Education, students have higher reading scores if they read or are read to for fun. Moreover, a love for reading is not only important for academic success, but also for personal growth and development.

It is through reading that we are introduced to new ideas, concepts, and knowledge. Without the ability to read, learning can be an almost impossible task. A love for reading causes children to improve their vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking skills. These skills are essential in all areas of life, including academic and professional pursuits. Furthermore, reading is an excellent way to stimulate the imagination. When we read, we immerse ourselves in worlds beyond our own, and this opens up our minds to new possibilities. A good book can take us on adventures we never thought possible and introduce us to characters that we may come to love.

Reading also benefits our mental health by reducing stress and anxiety up to 68%, according to a 2009 study. This will be beneficial to these children in many areas of their lives. Most importantly, reading is empowering, and it can change lives. It has the power to broaden horizons and expand one’s knowledge of the world. Through our program, students will learn to love to read and eventually become true bookworms. As the CEO of Beginner Bookworms, I, Ava Babula, can confidently say that developing a love for reading is one of the most valuable gifts that a child can receive. You give this gift to a child when you donate to our cause.
