A member of the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials' Board of Directors, Ken Wessel was honored with a plaque in 2008 for his 33 years of service.

Reading is an essential skill that every child should learn because it benefits child development and can set them on a path to success. A good reading culture is motivated by a desire to learn and entertain oneself through reading. Textbooks, news articles, and novels, to name a few, should be included in this category for children.

Reading is an effective method to teach and expose children to lessons and perspectives they would ordinarily not learn in their immediate environment. Thus, books cultivate interests in things beyond their school curriculum and broaden their worldview while nurturing a deeper understanding and empathy for people different from them.

Also, reading promotes emotional development in children because books frequently elicit various emotional responses from readers, such as sadness, fear, and happiness. This experience enables children to recognize and express their emotions when they encounter them in real-life situations.

Furthermore, it expands their vocabulary as they come across new words as they read. Reading is an effective way to expose children to words and phrases that are not commonly used around them, providing them with a rich and diverse vocabulary.
