The importance of reading books
Reading books is important not only for students but for all people since it not only has educational benefits but also improves skills such as communication, creativity, etc. Although for many reading is a pleasure, it is not for everyone, if it is not for you. You should still establish reading habits as a tool for the development of your abilities.
When you read you learn new words expand your vocabulary, you also improve your grammar. Spelling, and exercising your brain which stays active. A person with reading habits is someone who can acquire verbal skills very easily. This combined with mental speed (which is also developed) allows the reading to be an easier task every day:
- Being clearer for those who listen to the reading.
- Making the necessary breaks at the right time.
Why Read Books?
You could say that you are a person with reading habits because every day you read WhatsApp messages, Facebook posts, etc. However, due to the motivation that is not precisely educational (but entertainment), mistakes are made such as:
- Read very fast
- Reading words with grammatical and spelling errors, which you consciously or unconsciously learn.
- Gain knowledge of little use.
That is why beyond encouraging you to read. We recommend that you read books or any other content that has educational value and respects the rules of writing.
How New Words Help Learning
Reading allows you to learn new words that you probably don’t understand. But once you document them, they will be part of your knowledge. So later when you meet them again you will not have any problem. Remove the opposite of people who do not read but are also content with others reading and showing them an easy-to-understand summary.
In this sense, we invite you not to depend only on the summaries that you can find in blogs, web pages, tutorials… there are authors who have a lot to teach, if you start reading you will be able to learn much more.
Other Benefits Of Reading
Although it is perceived as a task, reading also helps us to:
- Entertain and relax. Nothing better than being distracted by something that teaches us at the same time, we recommend stories, novels, etc.
- Improve our understanding, concentration, and attention.
- Develop empathy, although few talk about this, when you read a story you put yourself in the skin of the protagonist.
- Release emotions, especially in books that tell stories that make you cry or laugh.
Tips For Having Reading Habits
If you are a student, ask your teachers to recommend a good book related to the subject you are studying, otherwise select a book according to your interests so that you are motivated.
