Books are important
How many books do you read a day? None? In my opinion, getting into reading is a good idea because it can benefit you in many ways . Books play a significant role in every student's life by introducing them to a world of imagination, providing knowledge of the outside world, improving their reading, writing and speaking skills as well as boosting memory and boosting intelligence.
Some more benefits of reading are. Reading makes you more empathetic. Reading is a way to escape reality, and can take you to faraway lands, sometimes it also allows you to step into other people’s shoes. Some more benefits are, reading keeps your brain healthy, reading reduces stress, reading helps you sleep better and lastly reading sets a good example for kids.
But, sadly nothing can be that perfect, as much as reading has a large variety of pros, it also has a large variety of cons. Some of those cons are…. It can damage your eyesight drastically, it is time consuming ( Which in a way can also be a pro ), it costs a lot of money, it takes up a lot of storage and some books are propaganda. Although reading has lots of cons we need to remember that reading also has LOTS of benefits. Some of the main benefits are it improves your creativity and vocabulary, it provides inspiration, it improves your productivity, it can assist you in developing a personality and it can enable you to be open minded. For example, reading books about different cultures, religions or countries can help you make connections to that place.
And lastly decades ago, studies showed that young children whose parents read to them regularly or made them read regularly demonstrated performance improvements in three categories: vocabulary, spelling and (unexpectedly) math. This suggests that developing as a reader helps improve a student's overall ability to process new concepts and new types of information.
In conclusion, ready is healthy and good for you. But, reading an unhealthy amount is not good for you. In my opinion getting into reading is a good idea, just don’t overdo it.
