Awards-winning musician, singer and songwriter, Elorm Adablah also popularly known as EL, has advised children on the need to read.<\/p>\n

According to the rapper, it is good to cultivate the habit of reading as this can help them achieve their life goals.<\/p>\n

This advice comes at a time when research shows that children\u2019s interest in reading, including that of adults, is seen to be waning.<\/p>\n

According to EL, \u201cNo matter what you want to do in your life, as long as you read to educate and empower yourself, the sky is your limit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

EL has, thus advised everyone to pick a book once a while and as often as one can do so and read.<\/p>\n

The ‘Koko’ hitmaker made these statements in a documentary produced by Ghana Book<\/p>\n

Development Council (GBDC).<\/p>\n

The documentary forms part of GBDC\u2019s campaign, dubbed \u201cLearn to read; read to learn\u201d .<\/p>\n

This documentary however aims to create and increase awareness of the numerous benefits<\/p>\n

of reading, particularly to children.<\/p>\n

Read:https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/gh\/87000-6\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The documentary comprises prominent personalities and role<\/h3>\n

models who still make\u00a0time to read in spite of their busy schedule.<\/h3>\n

These prominent personalities and role models, who are people the children readily identify<\/p>\n

with, have been recorded reading aloud children\u2019s books, particularly books written by<\/p>\n

Ghanaian authors. EL read from Ghanaian Bed Time stories \u201cNii Kodzo Tawia & Esuon\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Ghana Book Development Council (GBDC) is an Agency under the Ministry of Education<\/p>\n

mandated to oversee the development, regulation and effective planning of the Book Industry<\/p>\n

in Ghana. One of the functions of the GBDC is to ensure the establishment of suitable<\/p>\n

machinery for the promotion of reading among all age groups, particularly among children.<\/p>\n

To promote reading among school children and also promote indigenous books, the GBDC<\/p>\n

periodically organises Book Fairs and Reading Festivals as well as forms Reading and Creative-<\/p>\n

Writing Clubs at Basic and Senior High schools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
