There’s this saying ” Readers are leaders” and can only be achieved when hard work and perseverance are put in place. Reading is one of the best and most essential habit that can be inculcated in students.

Although a lot of people have come to realize how important and beneficial reading is but only few can read or are interested in reading. Most people especially children finds it much easier to watch rather than reading.

For students who must attain academic excellence and also wants to remain relevant it is quite a different thing. Many students see reading as boring or a huge waste of time and hardly attach any seriousness to it. So at reading hours, they either sleep, play games, or indulge in chats with other friends on their cell phones.

Negative attitude to reading will definitely produce wrong results. Global economy depends on knowledge that are available through reading. When students don’t read, then they will produce a generation that leaves reading habits. It’s as bad as that.

There’s therefore need to promote good reading habits. Some read for their own interest; while some read to pass exams; we read to empower ourselves so that we can impact our society positively. Then there’s no excuse not to read

There importance of good reading habits can not be over-emphasized. Good readers beings about consistency, focus and accuracy. Continuity in reading helps the brain retain more information thereby helping us recall things been stored. Students who reads under exam tension will find it difficult to recall what they read
