LEARN A LOT, READING IS FUN!

As we all know reading is important for our brains to work faster and for

our minds to be refreshed. But due to the pandemic, many people have stopped

reading books or any digital stories or anything that they could read. Instead,

they just focused their attention on some things that are not very important. As

learners, we should continue to read different literature we can find, even

virtually. Let’s all encourage every learner to read and learn something new.

Why should we start reading during this time of the COVID-19 Pandemic?

We should start reading during this time of pandemic because it helps us

to increase our vocabulary. It also helps us in learning how to use properly the

new words or phrases we read. It could also help you to fluently speak English

and even help you to minimize your grammatical error. Reading books or

reading comprehension is important for our daily lives, especially as learners.

Now that there is COVID-19, our social activities have become limited. The

students cannot go to school, resulting in abandoning their responsibilities as

learners. Instead of reading and learning things, they focused on doing the things

they wanted, like playing online games, using social media, and doing many

unhealthy doings. But what is the importance of reading?

 Here is some importance of reading, not just for us, as learners, but also

everyone around us can benefit from it. Through reading your mind become

sharper and improves your brain functions. It could also help you improve your

critical thinking and analyzing skills. Reading entertainment books can also help

you relieve or lower stress and tension. Some of us have difficulty in focusing,

but if you continue reading it could help you to have better focus. Reading

comprehension also helps in memory improvement because it pushes our

memory and focuses to the limit. And most importantly, reading can help to

boost your sleep. It contributes to improving your overall sleep pattern and

restfulness. Reading enables us to feel more relaxed.

That’s why reading must be promoted to learners because of the benefits

that they could gain. From them learning new things that could improve their

communication skills and writing skills. Even just giving them a little of their

time reading is a lot of help for them. From improving grammar, to how they

speak more fluently, and even vocabulary and knowledge expansion. Their

listener will be more engaged in listening to their speech. Let's engage every

learner to start reading. It is not just for them, but also for those who are around

and listening to them. How about you? Do you spend a bit of your time reading

too?
