“Myanmar is experiencing tremendous socio-economic changes and there is an increasing demand for affordable books due to the growing importance of English proficiency. We understand that establishing a knowledge-based economy, nurturing the next generation of readers and embracing change in Myanmar, in-line with the Government’s policies and goals can be achieved by igniting a reading movement in Myanmar,” said Myo Aung, Director of Ready 2 Read Myanmar and Organizer of the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale Yangon. Andrew Yap, Founder of the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale said, “Reading can enhance imagination and creative thinking, vocabulary and overall communication skills. It is very important for children and young adults to get exposed to books and make reading a habit. Parents should encourage their young ones to read more from young as reading is a habit that should be instilled from a young age.”
