Seeing the words of a language on a paper will often be the first place people see the language, at least knowingly. It is here, in this discipline, that learners will begin to see how the language is put together to make sense.

Reading is an important skill that needs to be developed in children. Not only is it necessary for survival in the world of schools and (later on) universities, but in adult life as well. The ability to learn about new subjects and find helpful information on anything from health problems and consumer protection to more academic research into science or the arts depends on the ability to read.
