opens doors to all kinds of new worlds for them. Reading skills have a
profound influence on the development of their cognitive skills. Reading
skill is crucial and should be inculcated among the students by
encouraging them to take books from the library and to become a
continuous and lifelong reader.

of all the students from non.readers to fluent readers with complete
