Importance of Reading Habits in Childhood Development

At Basanta Sadan, we strongly believe that reading is the foundation of learning. When children develop a habit of reading early in life, it shapes their thinking, language, creativity, and emotional intelligence.

📚 Why Reading Matters

Reading books:

  • Improves vocabulary and language skills
  • Boosts imagination and creativity
  • Builds empathy by understanding characters
  • Strengthens focus and memory
  • Encourages curiosity and critical thinking

🏫 How We Promote Reading at Our School

  • Library periods with age-appropriate books
  • Reading corners in classrooms
  • Storytelling sessions with teachers
  • Reading challenges and book review activities

We encourage both English and Nepali reading to strengthen bilingual skills.

🏠 How Parents Can Help

  • Set a “reading time” at home
  • Visit local bookstores or libraries
  • Be a reading role model — let children see you read
  • Give books as birthday gifts!

🌱 Every Page Is a Step Toward Growth

Let’s raise a generation that reads, thinks, and leads with wisdom.
