Margaret Fuller once said, "Today a reader, tomorrow a leader".
Reading is one of the best skills you should equip your child with at a young age. The ability to read will open doors and offer your child opportunities to become future-ready.
#1 : Broadens knowledge
The ability to read will enable your child to explore content beyond the four walls of their bedroom or classroom. It will enable them to read about different cultures, values, information about science and technology, and social behaviours. The ability to read will equip your child with the confidence and motivation to go forth and acquire knowledge about topics of interest.
#2 : Improves communication skills
Communication is key. In today's fast-paced world where there is an overload of information available almost everywhere and anywhere for those with access to the internet, having a strong ability to accurately digest and discern information is more critical than ever. Likewise, with communication becoming so accessible through communication apps, the ability to communicate clearly has become a survival skill. Equipping your child with the ability to read from a young age will give your child a headstart to the acquisition of vocabulary and greater exposure to grammar rules - giving them the ability to comprehend information read accurately while communicating their thoughts to those around them clearly are key factors to nurturing a future-ready child!
#3 : Develops creativity and cognitive ability
The ability to read will inspire a child to explore fiction and non-fiction books. The former allows its reader to stretch his/her imagination and get creative. The latter allows its reader to associate facts with the world around, developing a strong cognitive ability. The ability to get creative - think out of the box, whilst engineering present-day inventions will adequately prep your child to be ready for a future filled with changes and respond positively to uncertainties.
Indeed, 'once a reader, tomorrow a leader'. A simple yet fundamental skill - reading, is one that will open doors of opportunities for its adopter. Equipping a child with the ability to read from a young age will broaden a young mind's worldview, nurture effective two-way communication skills and build creativity that will disrupt, problem-solve and invent solutions for a better tomorrow.

Uwezo wa kusoma utafungua milango na kumpa mtoto wako fursa za kuwa tayari kwa siku zijazo. Uwezo wa kusoma utamwezesha mtoto wako kuchunguza yaliyomo zaidi ya kuta nne za chumba cha kulala au darasa. Itakuwawezesha wao kusoma kuhusu tamaduni tofauti, maadili, habari kuhusu sayansi na teknolojia, na tabia za kijamii. Uwezo wa kusoma utampa mtoto wako ujasiri na msukumo wa kwenda mbele na kupata maarifa juu ya mada zinazomvutia. # 2 - Uboreshaji wa ujuzi wa mawasiliano Katika ulimwengu wa leo wa kasi ambapo kuna mzigo wa habari inapatikana karibu kila mahali na mahali popote kwa wale walio na upatikanaji wa mtandao, kuwa na uwezo mkubwa wa kusafisha na kutofautisha habari kwa usahihi ni muhimu zaidi kuliko hapo awali. Kwa hiyo, kwa kuwa mawasiliano yanawezekana kupitia programu za mawasiliano, uwezo wa kuwasiliana kwa uwazi umekuwa ujuzi wa kuishi. Kumpa mtoto wako uwezo wa kusoma tangu umri mdogo kumpa mtoto wako mwanzo wa kupata msamiati na kufunuliwa zaidi kwa sheria za sarufi - kuwapa uwezo wa kuelewa habari iliyoandikwa kwa usahihi wakati wa kuwasiliana mawazo yao kwa wale walio karibu nao ni mambo muhimu ya kulea mtoto tayari kwa siku zijazo! #3: Inaendeleza ubunifu na uwezo wa utambuzi Uwezo wa kusoma utamchochea mtoto kuchunguza vitabu vya uwongo na visivyo vya uwongo. Kwanza, msomaji anaweza kupanua mawazo yake na kuwa na ubunifu. Kitabu hicho humruhusu msomaji wake kuhusianisha mambo ya hakika na ulimwengu unaomzunguka, na hivyo kukuza uwezo mkubwa wa kutambua mambo. Uwezo wa kuwa mbunifu - kufikiria nje ya sanduku, wakati uhandisi wa uvumbuzi wa leo utaandaa mtoto wako kwa kutosha kuwa tayari kwa siku zijazo zilizojaa mabadiliko na kujibu kwa chanya kwa kutokuwa na uhakika. Kwa kweli, 'wakati mmoja msomaji, kesho kiongozi'. Ujuzi rahisi lakini wa msingi - kusoma, ni moja ambayo itafungua milango ya fursa kwa mtumiaji wake. "Kumpa mtoto uwezo wa kusoma tangu utotoni kutapanua mtazamo wa ulimwengu wa akili ya kijana, kukuza ustadi wa mawasiliano ya njia mbili na kujenga ubunifu ambao utavuruga, kutatua shida na kubuni suluhisho kwa kesho bora.
