Reading has at all times and in all ages been a source of knowledge, of happiness, of pleasure and even moral courage. In today's world with so much more to know and to learn and also the need for a conscious effort to conquer the divisive forces, the importance of reading has increased. In the olden days if reading was not cultivated or encouraged, there was a substitute for it in the religious sermon and in the oral tradition. The practice of telling stories at bed time compensated to some extent for the lack of reading. In the nineteenth century Victorian households used to get together for an hour or so in the evenings and listen to books being read aloud. But today we not only read, we also want to read more and more and catch upThere is then the serious reading undertaken for research and for satisfying one's longing for knowledge. It may be a subject of scientific significance, or a subject of historic or philosophic importance - varying according to the taste of the person. This kind of reading disciplines the mind and trains one for critical and original thinking. There is yet another kind of reading -reading for pleasure. Though serious reading is also a source of pleasure, reading which is devoted mainly to it differs in one respect. It grows upon one, it gives before demanding and it soothes and relieves tension and loneliness. The only kind of reading which neither stimulates thought nor provides knowledge is one which is approached negatively, with the simple motive of escape and of "killing" time.A person who is widely read is able to mix with others: he is a better conversationalist than those who do not read. He can stand his ground. Reading broadens the vision. it is in a way a substitute for travel. It is not possible to travel as much as one would like to and reading can fill in the gap created by the lack of travel. "Reading", as Bacon wrote in his essay. 'Of Studies'. "maketh a full man: conference a ready man: and writing an exact man". Thus a widely-read man is a better conversationalist and is able to see the other point of view.

Reading aloud :
Reading aloud is one of the most important things parents and teachers can do with children. Reading aloud builds many important foundational skills, introduces vocabulary, provides a model of fluent, expressive reading, and helps children recognize what reading for pleasure is all about.

Reading silently : Reading education materials is one of the important early aspects in the process of learning and being educated. We do reading usually in two ways such as oral or loud reading and silent reading. Knowing the difference between oral and silent reading is vital to an individual’s educational lifetime.

Oral reading provides the thought from the printed page, while silent readers absorb the thought from the text. Oral reading actually follows an instant recognition of a thought, while silent readers immediately get the thought. Oral reading is a complex process which involves   mental interpretations based on eye sweeps of the text accompanied by vocalization. But silent readers simply interpret the materials through a series of eye sweeps without delay resulting from vocalization. With oral readers, the pronunciation of the words is most important, with silent readers, the meanings of the words are most important. Vocalization reduces and limits the speed of oral readers that doesn’t affect silent readers. Reading requires much guessing at a variety of levels. Readers can use guessing to their advantage to go and organizational relationships and the meaning of words.

Silent reading is sometimes considered as recreational reading or independent reading as in silent reading something is read in a relaxed mood and only a single individual remains concerned about it. Reading silently improves students’ understanding because it helps them concentrate on what they are reading, rather than the pronunciation of individual words. When we read silently, we can form mental pictures of the topic being read and discussed. Also, we do not need to read one word at a time. As teachers when you encourage your students to read silently, you are helping them develop the strategies they need for reading fast, and with better comprehension. This is called reading efficiency, and it will help your students to read any text with maximum attention to meaning. Silent reading also helps develop the skills of reading for a purpose, as the focus is on understanding the content without having the additional burden to pay attention to pronunciation. This is because silent reading helps students to focus their attention on the text, their increased concentration on the text is sustained until the entire text is read. This also helps students absorb ideas into their subconscious mind and then use them in their daily lives.
