“Reading is a very important skill to develop a fair sense of everything. It is an essential practice required to develop socio-emotional abilities, cognitive and communication skills. Developing reading habits in children at a young age will result in better development of the child. Better reading with comprehension is stressed in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020”, said a statement from CBSE .
