Benefits of Reading Aloud

1. Apple helps you to slim!

An apple a day keeps a doctor away. Pectin, one of the main constituents of apple kills bacteria as it
has strong antibacterial properties. In the case of stomach troubles, particularly diarrhea, it helps.
Although nine-tenths of an apple is pure water, it is a rich source of vitamin C, cellulose and acid.
Without vitamin C, a person becomes anemic, tires easily, and develops skin complaints. Cellulose
and acids are excellent laxatives. Apples are also low in fattening sugar and starch content. This
helps to make a person slim by reducing his fat.

2. Hold the hand!

A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was scared and asked his little
daughter, “Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don’t fall into the river.” The little girl said,
“No, Dad. You hold my hand.”
“What’s the difference?” asked the puzzled father.
“There is big difference,” replied the little girl. “If I hold your hand and something happens to me,
chances are that I may let your hand go.”
“But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand
go.” - Hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting him to hold yours.

3. First traffic light

The first traffic light was installed in 1868 outside Britain’s Houses of Parliament. It was a pair of
alternating red and green gas lamps. It was used to keep the large number of horse-drawn carriages
in the area from crashing one into another. It was a revolving lantern and was illuminated by gas.
The lantern was turned by means of a lever at its base so that the appropriate light faced traffic.
It was a great help to the police officers. But on 2 January 1869, the traffic light exploded injuring
the operator. This accident discouraged further experiments in traffic control for some time.
However research continued and today we have the most advanced traffic control systems.

4. Success in Reading!
Sure way for success in studies is an art to be practiced with great skill and determination. Many
tips and methods that are now available can be followed with great advantage by students for
success in studies. However, only a burning desire to study will act as the basic driving factor for
success. All of us should know the different reading techniques like skimming, scanning and reading
aloud to reap the full benefits of learning.

5. Benefits of reading!
The benefit of reading is multiplied, if great care is taken to write down intelligent notes or draw a
line under the sentences. This will reveal the essential point of the subject while reading a book. It
is always advantageous to digest the heart of the subject and present it when needed in your own
language. To have a wider perspective, relative reference study is also an indispensable need.
Cross-memory in study while applying the mind to a subject is a simple and sure way to develop
and keep up memory.
