Importance Of Reading Good Books!

Reading is a great activity and every student should get into the hobby of reading since early age. Students these days have engulfed themselves in odd habits that do not add to their creativity, for example video games. Reading is becoming a less taken up hobby, which is a matter of concern. Even when high school students read, they read random books which are bad and prove to be a sheer waste of time and energy.

Reading should add to the mental development and understanding of a child, and not create an unusual land that takes them away from the hard ground realities of life. Whether a student is concerned for his assignments, or needs something to pass their time, good books are the best way to do it.

To pick one book is the hardest task for certain students, but once when a beginner gets hang of reading, he automatically becomes a reader. There are certain books every high school student should read such as The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. Such novels teach them the importance of family and emotions. If someone is interested in reading science fiction then Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, a classical satire, is a must read.


Another simple yet convincing tale is of the Bennet sisters in Pride and Prejudice that narrates the situation of society in the Victorian age. Apart from these, there are various other classics that are equally great, such as Gone with the Wind, Frankenstein, To Kill a Mocking Bird, The Catcher in the Rye, David Copperfield, Midnight’s Children, etc. Few day boarding schools in Delhi NCR got novels or their abridged versions in their curriculum, which helps in building student’s interest towards novels.

Every kid develops his own hobbies, and parents must guide them while doing so. There are many International Day Boarding in Delhi where the syllabus is designed smartly to hold the students’ attention and make them creative in the long run. Therefore, parents must choose the school for their children after proper research.

There are big libraries in best boarding schools that house a collection of novels of different genres, hailing from different eras that help high students to find books that they aren’t able to find elsewhere. Like this the school’s infrastructure plays an important role.

It is truly said that books are the best companion one can get and the best teacher as well. Therefore, keeping these facts in mind kids should start reading good novels from a young age.
