Family reading: Developing, children’s creativeness

Creativity is an act that is required and admired in all life’s endeavours. It is the bedrock of innovation and inventiveness.

At all times, what makes a child or an adult unique in all spheres of life is their ability to create something out of anything within their reach. That is to say that everything that one does should be given a touch of creativity, uniqueness, value and life.

For children to develop their capabilities and hone their creative ability, it is required that they are offered an environment and opportunities that help them, right from the beginning, to achieve all these skills and capabilities.

The act of family reading, which is advocated by Ghana Book Development Council (GBDC), an agency under the Ministry of Education, is to ensure that schoolchildren do not only cultivate the habit of reading, but also embrace and take advantage of all the benefits of reading, including developing and honing their creative abilities.
