Reading, as you know, is a continuous and never ending process. If you do very little reading, or if you read only material that offers no challenge to your comprehension, your reading will be of very little use. Once we reach a certain age, or once our formal schooling is completed, many of us become so restricted in our choice of. reading that we rarely read any new type of reading experience.

More and more children are being subjected to TV programming, perhaps as a babysitter.
