Reading is not just a routine activity, but also an endless adventure into imagination and knowledge. Reading sharpens the mind, broadens perspectives, and enriches vocabulary. It is a gateway to the limitless world beyond us. Set aside a specific time to read every day. From reading before bed to finding time in the morning, reading habits can be formed with consistency. Choose books that match your interests and literacy level. Start with books that align with your desires and reading ability. Find a quiet and comfortable place to read. Adequate lighting, a comfortable chair, and a bit of background music can create a better reading experience. Take notes or keep a journal about the books you’ve read. Write down your thoughts, impressions, and the lessons you've gained.
