The Benefits Of Promoting Reading

The benefits of promoting reading

Introduction.

This should not only encourage students to read texts, but also to write. In the activities that will be proposed in this project, this aspect is taken into account, since, it is so much that there are readers for people who write texts, as writers for the people who read. Therefore it is important to show them models of genres and literary styles whether traditional or current.

In the classrooms, students are taught to understand texts, to value sources of information, to be honest with the creation of content, to choose, to be autonomous, in short to be adults and have criteria;But we cannot impose that they read. In the words of this same author: "The reading plan is alive, it needs permanent update and is not foreign to anyone". This statement leads us to reflect on the importance of bringing our students updated books and not remaining hermetic in terms of teaching literary classics. In this same way, it is important to be avant -garde with the different genres that may be emerging at the time.

Developing.

So far we have talked about the concepts of reading plan and literary education, we see necessary to emphasize literary competence in which our students must develop. Through the reading of literary texts, literary competition grows and evolves. This competition is established fundamentally from reading, as mentioned above, and that is why introducing the child into the world of reading from an early age is much better and more profitable than if it begins in later ages.

This aspect, however, is very relative, since being a good reader is not determined in a stipulated period of time. This means that if in a case, since his childhood he has not read in abundance and, therefore, he is not a good reader, but a reader, he can develop such competence in his adolescence. This refers to the fact that the reader is done and is not born, so he always has time to be a good reader and thus achieve literary competition that is so effective for our future and personal development. 

It is advisable to provide students with different types of texts where they can make different interpretations, but these must have enough elements that provide meaning to it and thus favors the increase in the interpretive capacity of the student. This while being reader of the book, must be able to become a character so that a link between them is established.

In addition, it is important to propose activities that can be developed in different contexts such as the visit to bookstores, theaters, libraries, etc., where students can discover the interest of reading. For Ahmed, through reading the development of the capacity for analysis and critical sense is achieved. You cannot make a reading drinking the book like who drinks the images of television;The reader has to analyze and take sides for what he is reading.

For its part, Royal Decree 126/2014, of February 28, which establishes the basic curriculum of primary education states that reading and writing are the instruments through which cognitive processes are launchedthat elaborate the knowledge of the world, of others and of oneself and, therefore, play a fundamental role as tools for acquiring new learning throughout life.

Within blocks 2 and 3, written communication: reading and writing, you want to get students to be able to understand texts of different degree of complexity and diverse genres, and that reconstructs explicit and implicit ideas in the text in order toto elaborate your own critical and creative thinking as collected within the text cited above and also adds that understanding a text implies implementing a series of reading strategies that must be practiced in the classroom and project in all spheres of life and inAll types of reading: Read to get information, read to learn your language and read for pleasure.

Similarly, block 5, literary education, assumes the objective of making students and competent readers, involved in a reading training process that continues throughout life. For that, it is necessary to alternate the reading, understanding and interpretation of literary works close to their personal tastes and cognitive maturity with that of literary texts and complete works that provide basic knowledge about some representative works of our literature

On the other hand, if we attend to the curriculum in the order of March 17, 2015, which develops the curriculum corresponding to primary education in Andalusia, determines the basic learning for each curricular area., In article 4 of the methodological orientations it considers that reading constitutes a fundamental factor for the development of key competences. It suggests that all didactic programming include activities that favor the development of competence in linguistic communication, being the centers in charge of organizing the time that will be dedicated. Likewise, the curriculum considers that the pleasure of reading must be encouraged, recreating Andalusian and Spanish literary authors, thus bringing students closer to the reading habit.

If we attend to the impact of reading from an early age, it is important that children begin to read since childhood, since they will develop a reading ability and other cognitive skills that favor that they are good readers in the future. According to Lockwood, reading is a necessary skill to advance the school curriculum and to open the doors of knowledge in other subjects. When reading well, active learning increases, which favors autonomy and involvement of the student in their own training. In addition, it helps increase the ability of children, thus favoring the learning of words more quickly as well as stimulates creativity and imagination.

Conclusions.

Therefore, it is necessary to mention the role that families play in this process. Since both teachers and school in general play an important role in the development of it, however the conditions that the student finds outside the institution will influence it taking into account the sociocultural context of the student. Therefore, information to families must be provided so that their contribution is successful in the process. It is important to give prominence in the family home, creating moments of joint reading, where in addition to sharing a time together, you are contributing to this reading habit.
