Reading helps vocabulary<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The more you read, the more key words you\u2019ll be exposed to. Consistent exposure to new words, learning their meanings and seeing the context in which they\u2019re 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reading stimulates the brain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your brain wants to be kept active and engaged in order to\nstay healthy. Reading is great exercise for the mind. From a neurobiological\nstandpoint, reading is more challenging on the brain than processing speech and\nimages. Mental support from reading will enhance your memory and learning\ncapacity, keep your mind sharp by slowing intellectual decline as you age, and\nstrengthen your brain against disease like Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reading improves memory<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reading creates new memoirs. With each of these new\nmemories, your brain forms new networks between neurons and strengthens\nexisting ones. As you read you are memorizing and recalling words, ideas,\nnames, relationships, and plots. You\u2019re essentially training your brain to\nretain new information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reading is what we can do outside of school to help us stay\nwith in the school mindset during break. It is not as intensive as school and\nprovides an aspect of leisure as well. Reading helps us to stay on track while\nlearning new ways to be different.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
