The benefits of developing a reading habit

It is not news that the reading culture in Africa is sick and bed ridden; by this I mean Rwanda too is no exception. Our schools emphasise majorly the reading of class work and give little or no attention to the other equally important aspect of general reading or boundary-less reading .Here I mean reading novels, journals, magazines, newspapers and any other piece of literature. Most children prefer watching Television or playing video games. As a result, reading has no place in their list of hobbies yet it is heavier in importance.
