Reading corner for SJK (C ) Daerah Kulai
Back in the old days, reading books was the only way we increased knowledge, improved language proficiency, and improved our mind. Today, the rapid development of science and technology that introduced a wide range of high-tech products have taken over the value of books. Those multimedia technologies with audiovisual interaction such as I-pad, Smartphone, Computer and TV have increasingly undermined the value and turning books into ‘protected animal’. Without neglecting benefits that the books have provided to humankind, such swift development in the technology has brought over challenges to the parents in monitoring the type of information that is fed to their children from those high-tech products due to unfiltered access to the Internet. On the contrary, the tradition of reading books has avoided such negative challenge posed by the high-tech products.
CBB, therefore, hope that by adding a ‘Reading Corner’ in school will encourage more students to read books. In addition to the ability in regulating reading materials provided to the students, the school will not only improve the standard of reading through the Reading Corner, but it will also enhance the standard of knowledge in various fields possessed by the student. Reading Corner emphasize a fun, comfortable and free reading environment, in addition to the availability of books that are meaningful to fascinate students to spend their time there. These features are lacking in the library as it could not operate as open as the Reading Corner, due to the tightly controlled on the usage of books in the library and limited time of operation. As the book is a static reading material that devoid the audio-visual interference, reading books allow the students to fully concentrate on their writing style and imagination. From there, it creates a lasting value writing with aclear message. Also, it allows students to stand on the shoulders of a giant, possessing the thinking of great people and look forward to their future.
