Reading is the Key

As an educator and a parent, I know the importance of reading. I encourage others to motivate their children to read, and to be reminded that reading is the key to get ahead in life. I hope you enjoy the following poem that tells us all about this very subject:

READING IS THE KEY

Reading is the key

To take you to places far and beyond

To capture your heart

To gain a wealth of knowledge

As you journey into an exciting world

Filled with meaningful words

Found in a book

Found in a magazine

Found in a newspaper

Found in a journal

Found in a comic –

Found in anything with print.

Take the time to read.

Read here

Read there

Read anywhere and everywhere

For the stories never cease

And the reading never ends

For the reader with the passion

To read, read, and read!

So if you want to go to worthwhile places

And reach the pinnacle of success

You can possess the winning ingredient

By taking the time to READ!
