Benefits from reading:

•  Reading exercises our brain. Reading is a much more complex task for the human brain rather than watching TV, for example. Reading strengthens brains connections and builds NEW connections. 

• Reading helps children to develop empathy. As children develop, they begin to imagine how they would feel in that situation.

•  Reading teaches children about the world around them. Through reading a variety of books children learn about people, places, and events outside of their own experience.

• Reading improves vocabulary and language skills. Children learn new words as they read. Subconsciously, they absorb information on how to structure sentences and how to use words and other language features effectively in their writing and speaking.
