As far as the brain, the expression “use it or lose it” shows that the more our brains stimulated by intellectual activity and environmental interactions, the more the fabric is made between the cells.

Mastery of vocabulary is very important in understanding the words in the passage. Children usually can read a word when they were one year of age, a sentence when she was two years old, and a book when he was three years old.

Actually, he continued, teaching reading in children under five is easy and simple. “It was so easy and simple that we often ignore it, delay, and shrugged, so that eventually the time missed and it’s too late,” he explained.
