I’m wondering whether other RV students have the time to read newspapers daily. dd comes home after sunset almost everyday, after hw, it’s bedtime. There is a high pile of newspapers waiting to be read every weekend. Sometimes, also can’t finish reading all the newspapers during wkends. Maybe during the June hols, then all these can be cleared.

Hi Augmum, when they start taking GP, then by hook or by crook, they’ll have to read the newspapers daily.

Reading is an important habit and skill. The better you are at it, the faster you can read, the faster you can read, the fater you can absorb knowledge. The faster you can absorb knowledge, the faster you can find out what is important to read and the virtuous cycle carries on. The more powerful your strength, the stronger your tools for academic prowess. Ths, it is to the students advantage if he/she can ramp up this habit and skills. The higher the better and stronger advantage over others.
