Reading a variety of texts is crucial for K-12 students as it broadens their knowledge, enhances critical thinking skills, and fosters a lifelong love of learning. Exposure to diverse genres, including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and informational texts, helps students develop a well-rounded perspective on the world. Each type of text offers unique insights and learning opportunities that contribute to a student's intellectual and emotional growth.

Fictional literature, for example, stimulates imagination and empathy by allowing students to explore different characters, cultures, and scenarios. It helps them understand human experiences and emotions, fostering social awareness and emotional intelligence. Non-fiction texts, on the other hand, provide factual information and real-world knowledge about history, science, and current events. Reading non-fiction enhances students' comprehension and analytical skills, enabling them to critically evaluate information and form informed opinions.
