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
heorists, 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
or 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
or 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)
