The Joy of Reading

Reading is such an essential skill for any student who plans to appear for any entrance examination.

Developing the habit of reading develops certain essential skills such as speed reading, vocabulary and grammar. While there are many technical ways of improving your speed reading skills, the best way remains general reading.

If students start developing the habit of reading good books, they will not only develop essential skills but also find a great way to relax and de-stress.

For beginners, I would recommend simple books by authors like Chetan Bhagat (5 point someone, 3 mistakes of my life, 2 states, ...), Sidney Sheldon, Jeffrey Archer etc.

Advanced readers can progress to authors like Robin Cook (Genre: medical thrillers), John Grisham (genre: legal thrillers), Frederick Forsythe, Ken Follett etc. Ayn Rand and George Orwell are recommended for prolific readers who don’t mind some serious, thought-provoking material

Classics such as the Mahabharata and the Odyssey are always welcome.

All in all, learn to enjoy reading books and you’ll have picked up one activity that combines fun with skill-development.
