The Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya West, Madam Gizela Tetteh, who is also a past student, encouraged the schoolchildren to develop the habit of reading to help broaden their knowledge and horizons.

That, she indicated, would help them build a wide vocabulary so that they can read and write well and perform brilliantly in school.
