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 #3
Improved vocabulary
Developing critical thinking
Reading widely allows students to encounter different ideas and ways of understanding the world, compelling them to consider what they believe and why. For young people with a Christian faith, whose beliefs will be challenged throughout their lives, it’s vital they learn to give reasoned arguments for their faith (1 Pet 3:15). It can be helpful for them to read the works of great Christian apologists such as Josh McDowell, Ravi Zacharias, CS Lewis and Dr John Lennox.
Critical thinking skills are also some of the most highly valued in the workplace, and are linked with experiencing fewer negative life events.

TODAY IS WORLD RABIES DAY
It is celebrated annually to raise awareness about rabies prevention and to highlight progress in defeating this horrifying disease.
28 September also marks the anniversary of Louis Pasteur's death, the French chemist and microbiologist, who developed the first rabies vaccine.
Today, safe and efficacious animal and human vaccines are among the important tools that exist to eliminate human deaths from rabies while awareness is the key driver for success of communities to engage in effective rabies prevention.
