Drew Arellano Interview

Drew Arellano shares the importance of reading with son Primo

Updated:February 22, 2019

According to the Kapuso host, he wants Primo to learn, imagine and understand different things through reading.

He wrote: “Note to self: more reading time with Primo, lesser TV. Books are a more proactive form of entertainment and learning.”

Further, Drew talked about the benefits of reading and its effects on readers.

“The reader has to concentrate on what’s being said and to think through concepts in the book. When we read, we’re forced to use our imaginations to fill in the gaps. Books also have the advantage of being able to describe everything in greater depth. While television is mostly composed of dialogue between characters, books can walk readers through scenes, characters’ thoughts, and provide lengthier commentary.”
