Cultivating a reading culture: Comprehensive development foundation for secondary school students

In the age of information explosion, the culture of reading books is not just a good habit but also a solid foundation for the comprehensive development of students. At VSchool Middle School, we continuously encourage and create opportunities for students to cultivate this habit early on. Below are reasons why reading books is important and how VSchool supports students in expanding their knowledge through each page of a book.

Benefits of Reading Books:

Expands knowledge: Reading books exposes students to a vast amount of knowledge beyond textbooks. From literature to science, from history to art, books open windows to a vast world and new horizons that encourage students to imagine and create.

Develops critical thinking: Middle school years are when students begin to shape and develop their critical thinking skills. Through reading books, students learn to analyze and evaluate information independently, which not only helps them in their studies but also in their daily lives.

Improves language skills: Regular reading contributes to improving vocabulary and grammar, helping students express ideas more clearly and fluently.

Nurtures the soul: Reading books is a beneficial form of entertainment that helps students relax and reduce stress. Moreover, books often contain lessons about right and wrong, helping students develop their worldview and behavior in various situations. Therefore, reading books not only provides knowledge but also inspires students to develop emotions and a love for the world around them.
