Do we need to read in order to speak English?
The short answer is no. Some native speakers cannot read or write but they speak English fluently.
On the other hand, reading is something that you can do on your own and that greatly broadens your vocabulary,
thus helping you in speaking (and in listening and writing).
Reading is therefore a highly valuable skill and activity. – http://www.englishclub.com
One of the main factors of success is reading. If you can’t read, you can’t see the right way for your future.
(This is based on my own opinion) Being a good reader leads you to a great future. For example, students who read
a lot and who understand what they read usually attain good grades. And take note that reading is not complete
without comprehension. You must understand what you are reading.
So why is reading important? It is because, when we read, we discover new things, it develops our mind and
imagination, etc. and the most important is that, reading is one of the building blocks of life.
So guys, read, read and read. 🙂
