At Citytop Schools, we believe that reading is the foundation of lifelong learning. For our students, reading goes beyond letters and words, it opens doors to imagination, knowledge, and discovery.
Why Reading Matters for Children
Builds Vocabulary and Language Skills – The more children read, the more words they learn, helping them communicate better.
Boosts Imagination and Creativity – Books transport young minds into new worlds, inspiring curiosity and creativity.
Improves Concentration and Focus – Reading trains children to stay attentive and patient.
Strengthens Academic Success – Children who read regularly excel in comprehension, writing, and even problem-solving.
