Ratna Sagar Raindrops Literature Reader for Class 6

Educationists and linguists have always stressed the importance of inculcating the habit of reading in children. Reading enhances empathy and develops the imagination. Children with a healthy reading habit possess superior language skills and can write significantly better than children who don’t read.
Research findings in applied linguistics consistently show a strong correlation between reading proficiency and academic success at all ages, from primary school right through to university level.
The National Curriculum Framework (NCF) recommends that students should be encouraged to go beyond the textbook to further reading and observation. It says that emphasis on reading gives children a solid foundation for learning.
