Reading is something that some may rather enjoy, but most people don’t. Scientists say that reading is actually good for you and it helps your mind. Today, scientific studies have shown that reading makes you smarter. For example, reading a novel increases blood flow and connectivity in the brain.
Reading can introduce you to new ideas and can help you solve problems. Your analytical thinking stimulates from reading. Like, figuring out a mystery in a book series before the characters figure it out. Reading helps you solve problems, detect patterns, and assimilate new information as if you were living in the character’s shoes.
Reading can help you become a better writer for classes, newspaper articles, and papers. When you read, your body tends to absorb the good writing techniques and vocabulary in the story. When you write, you may copy those techniques that got your attention. Reading also enhances your spelling and vocabulary. As you read, you find new words to converse with and use them to your advantage.
Reading strengthens your convictions and world-view. When you read a book with concurring world-view, it reinforces your convictions. If you read a book with opposing world-view, it broadens your perspective and causes you to examine your beliefs and your search for truth. Reading some books with this concept, you may view characters differently and realize how real, beautiful, and personal they are.
Reading challenges your imagination. As you are reading, you put yourselves in the character’s shoes. Your brain may go beyond words on the page, imagining details such as, appearances, emotions, and surroundings.
