In his book "The Read-Aloud Handbook," Jim Trelease emphasizes the powerful connection between reading and personal development. He argues that the more individuals engage with books, the more they enhance their skills and enjoyment of reading. This creates a positive feedback loop where improved abilities foster a greater appreciation for reading itself.

Treasuring the habit of reading can lead to increased motivation to pursue it. As readers notice their progress, they not only become better but also cultivate a love for reading that encourages further exploration and practice. This cycle highlights the intrinsic rewards of reading, making it an essential and enjoyable activity.
