REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Books
Books play a significant role in our life. They say that “When you open a book,
you open a new world”. I believe that everyone would agree with this statement as
books have become inevitable to mankind. For the majority of people, books are part
of their everyday life. A book is like a best friend who will never walk away from you.
 REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES

The importance of reading of books as an avenue to improved reading has been

stressed by theorists, researchers, even students and practitioners alike, no matter what
their perspectives. There are few ideas more widely accepted than that reading is
learned through reading. (National Reading Panel, 2000)

One of the best ways to exercise the mind is by reading books, not only will that add
to one’s existing knowledge, but it will also keep the brain sharp especially in students
who really need books for study. ( Mapua, 2016 )

The value of reading of books as preparation for college should never be

underestimated, not even as the focus of higher education turns to STEM majors and
career preparation. (Sullivan, 2016)

Books can never be replaced. Books are a symbol of knowledge, emotions and the
very reason for human wisdom. You can see that for a very long time for hundreds of
years nothing could replace books and nothing will. (Muralidhar, 2017)

Books, we can experience new things that we would not normally be able to
experience. With an active imagination, you can go to other worlds or made up worlds.
Books can change our lives and other people’s lives. Reading can make us more
intelligent. Without reading we wouldn’t know anything that we know today. Our
forefathers have taught us more than we know. (Kgbook,2014)
