Reading habits in the students of Tecnológico Espíritu Santo

Abstract

Reading habits are a fundamental part of human development and the acquisition of knowledge. Since time immemorial, reading has been an essential tool for learning, exploring the world, and personal enrichment. However, in the digital age and with the increasing demands of modern life, the reading habit has faced numerous challenges.

In addition to exploring the importance of reading habits, it is crucial to understand how these habits can impact different aspects of individual and social life. At an individual level, reading habits not only improve reading comprehension and expression skills, but also stimulate creativity, concentration and vocabulary development. Reading can also be a powerful tool for emotional development, allowing readers to explore different perspectives, understand themselves and others, and cultivate empathy and compassion.

However, there are several obstacles that can make it difficult to develop strong reading habits, such as lack of access to reading materials, competition from other forms of digital entertainment, and time and work demands. It is crucial to address these challenges and develop effective strategies to encourage and maintain the habit of reading at all stages of life.
