Lately I have heard about some pretty good books. That got me thinking, what are the benefits of reading? It seems to be such a universal thing, in fact you are doing it right now, but why?
The first benefit of reading is, obtaining information. That doesn’t mean that you have to be reading a math textbook though. You go and read reviews before you go and see a movie, or you read news articles about current events, which are all forms of information through reading. The second benefit of reading is, free entertainment. Reading is fun! When you are reading you aren’t stressed because your mind is somewhere else. If you find what kind of books you like, it could be hours of entertainment. The third benefit is, that reading is healthy and helpful. Reading is a healthy habit, books don’t have blue light coming from them so they aren’t bad for your eyes at night, like phones or other devices. You can be learning while having fun when you are reading. Reading is helpful, because you never know when you could use what you are learning. When you read you support the people who make their careers off of writing. So, go out to the library and get a book, (you don’t even have to pay for it!) Have fun reading!
