how to protect the environment is as essential as that of how to read and write.
However

For example
, a recent media in Korea reports that a child who learned literacy before the 6 years old tend to earn 30% higher grades than other

literate earlier than others, they can easily become knowledgeable since they can read more books that help them to become wise.
