RHS ESSENTIAL

Reading is a wonderful way of fostering literacy in teenagers.

However, daily reading has benefits that go way beyond childhood. Establishing the skills needed for reading is vital for work and everyday activities such as filling out forms and following written instructions.
Helping high school students develop successful reading strategies is one of the greatest gifts you can give them. Effective reading skills give students access to wonderful new worlds.

This article will highlight some benefits of reading, and offer practical advice to boost your confidence and reading enjoyment.
Aside from its necessity, reading has wide-ranging cognitive and literacy-building benefits. Over the next few days, we will discuss these benefits.

📚Benefit #2

Improved vocabulary

By exposing students to new words, reading can expand vocabulary. This has been shown in research, such as this 2015 study which found that reading-related activities were the primary cause of vocabulary growth from grades four to twelve.

TODAY IS UN WORLD TOURISM DAY

Rethinking tourism

International tourist arrivals at the start of 2022 were double the level recorded in 2021. In some regions, arrivals are already at, or even above, pre-pandemic levels. The lifting of the remaining travel restrictions, alongside rising consumer confidence, will be important drivers for the sector’s recovery, bringing hope and opportunity to many millions of people around the world.
World Tourism Day will be celebrated as the shift towards tourism is being recognized as a crucial pillar for development and as progress is well underway. May 2022 marked the first time the United Nations General Assembly held a special debate on tourism, illustrating the historic relevance of the sector. Tourism is now on the agenda of governments and of international organizations in every global region.
At the same time, destinations and businesses are proactively adapting to meet challenges and responsibilities, as illustrated by the wave of signatories to the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism, spearheaded by UNWTO.
Tourism’s International Observance Day will put people at the center of key discussions. Where is tourism going? Where do we want to go? And how do we get there?
The theme “Rethinking Tourism” will reflect this. It aims to inspire the debate around rethinking tourism for development, including through education and jobs, and tourism’s impact on the planet and opportunities to grow more sustainably.
