Laisimna (reading) thupi na pen leitung thu, vantung thu
theihna ding ciang bek a, a manpha hilo a, mihingte cidamna dingin zong manpha

laisimlo mikhat sangin a cidamna lam ah 20% hoih zaw hi cihna hi a, suah kum
kibang minih te sung pan in laisim zaw mi khat pen a nuntakna sau zaw ding
cihna a hihi. Bang hang a hi tam, laisimna leh khansauna kisai kha maw? Eh!
kisai mah ei. Laisimna hangin lungsim gikna (stress) tampi vengsak thei hi.
Tawmvei laisimna, minute guk (6) sung bekbek laisimna hangin na lungtang pho (

Laisimna hangin pil zawk, siam zawkna kingah hi. Sanglai sinna
(formal education) ah pilna leh theihna ngahna dingin sum leh hun tampi bei in
sinkul a, a hizongin laisimna panin hun tomno leh sum le pai tawmno tawh pilna
siamna tampi kingah thei hi. Na theih ngeiloh thu, na muh ngeiloh nate pen
laibu sung pan na ngah thei ding a, mite tuahkhak ngei thu (experiences) tampi

Laisimna hangin na thu ciaptehna hong hoih sak tuam ding hi.
Maryanne Wolf in a laibu gelh, Proust and
the Squid: The story and Science of the Reading Brain, sung ah, "
mihingte bel laisim ding a suak hi kei.... Laisimna pen mihingte in na a thak
nate sinna ding leh khuak ciaptehna bawk kikna ding a bawlkhiat uh ahihi"
cin na gelh hi. Laisimna hangin i lungsim sungah thu dang ngaihsutna khempeuh
khawlsak vek in tua i laibu et sungah lungsim piakna kinei a hih manin i khuak
kitat hiam kik tuam hi. I khuak in thasan in i ngaihsutna khempeuh i laisim sungah
a om tak ciangin na kiciamteh thei tektek a hih manin a beisan hun a mangngilh
sa thu tampi tak zong kiphawk kik thei hi. Leitung a thu piang thak tuamtuam

a taktak in a mun ciangin maingap tuam pah a hih manin laisim lo mite sangin
kalsau sawn zaw hamtang hi.
Laisimna hangin ei leh ei i dinmun leh i lungsim puakna hong

ngaihsutna ah ei leh ei hong kiphawk sak hi. Midangte tungah i hoihna, i
hoihlohna leh khat leh khat kizopna ah kizop zia ding cihte a kipan hong kimu
sak a hih manin nuntakna hoih zawkna ding lampi a hihi. Laibu sung a om thu
hoih la hoihte khat khit khat khil ngiatngiat in sim leng i lungsim natna tampi
hong damsak thei hi. Midang te tawh kisai muhdan tuamtuam omte zong sansiamna
om thei hi. Ei leh ei dinmun i kitheih tak ciangin mite tungah i mundan leh i sandan
kisiam tuam ding a, mite tawh kilungtuak in nuntak khopdan kisiam ding hi.
Laisimna pen mimal khat nuntakna ding a hi zongin, minam bup
i mailam kalsuanna ding a hizongin lam hong lak meivak khat tawh kibang hi. Khantohna
kipatna ahihi. Lai a sim nuamlo mimal, minam bup pen lawm le gual, minam dangte
sangin tuantual (backward) zaw den dinghi. Khan leh gual theih zah theilo ding
a hih manin mite nuntakna banzo lo ding hi. A diak in tuhun ah nuntakna pen thu
theihna bulphuh nuntakna hi ta a hih manin thu theihna dingin laisim lo minam
pen kiamsuk lam manawh zaw ding hi. A beisa hun lai in thatang tawh nek zon hun
lai-in minam sung leh mimal nuntakna ah laisim pen hun bei sakna bangin kimu
kha hi. A hizongin in tu ciangin khuahun kikhek a, nekzon zia kilam dang a hih
manin khua hun zui a nuntak sawm ding thupi hi.
Thu theihna leh pilna ngahna dingin a zon zia ding lampi nih
a hi: laisimna ( reading/ informal education ) leh sanglai sinna ( formal
education) te pen i nuntakna sungah a cinn huai thu leh sep huai thu a hihi.
Sanglai sinna pan pilna leh theihna a kingah theih bangin laisimna pan in zong
leitung thu, vantung thu tampi ki zong khia thei a, pilna leh theihna tampi
kingah thei veve hi. Theihna leh pilna neilo mite pen mite vaihawmna nuai ah om
den ding a, makai lubawk lam-in pang ngeilo ding hi. Tua hi a, a kiciang tan
theilo thu theihna leh pilna ngahna dingin laisimna i neih ding pen a thupi
mahmah a hihi.
