62. Remember: Learners who struggle learning to read in one language, does NOT mean their performance is the same for the other language. Poor performance in reading should NOT be used as a way of gauging the learner’s intelligence.

63. “ Reading is the gateway for children that makes all other learning possible.” – Barack Obama
