Reading helps vocabulary

The more you read, the more key words you’ll be exposed to. Consistent exposure to new words, learning their meanings and seeing the context in which they’re used will increase your mental dictionary. You will have more phrases available to use and more ways to use them in discussion and in writing. This will increase your ability to communicate efficiently, allowing you to better articulate your thoughts and more accurately express how you feel.

Reading stimulates the brain

Your brain wants to be kept active and engaged in order to stay healthy. Reading is great exercise for the mind. From a neurobiological standpoint, reading is more challenging on the brain than processing speech and images. Mental support from reading will enhance your memory and learning capacity, keep your mind sharp by slowing intellectual decline as you age, and strengthen your brain against disease like Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Reading improves memory

Reading creates new memoirs. With each of these new memories, your brain forms new networks between neurons and strengthens existing ones. As you read you are memorizing and recalling words, ideas, names, relationships, and plots. You’re essentially training your brain to retain new information.

Reading is what we can do outside of school to help us stay with in the school mindset during break. It is not as intensive as school and provides an aspect of leisure as well. Reading helps us to stay on track while learning new ways to be different.
