Reading culture is one that’s fast losing its way in today’s world. People don’t read anymore, and many don’t even see the importance of reading.<\/p>\n

To most people, reading is only something you do to pass an exam, but it goes way beyond that. Reading has some extraordinary values that you should know.<\/p>\n

1. CAN IMPROVE YOUR FOCUS <\/strong><\/p>\n

Reading can improve focus. When you read a book, all of your attention could become focused on the words or story, and you can immerse yourself in it. This could help improve your focus.<\/p>\n

2. KNOWLEDGE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Knowledge is power, right? Reading gives you new bits of information, and the more information you have, the more knowledgeable you will become and you’ll be better-equipped to tackle any challenge you\u2019ll ever face.<\/p>\n

3. YOUR MENTAL HEALTH<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reading is good for your mental health, and like any other muscle in the body, the brain requires exercise to keep it strong and healthy.<\/p>\n

Studies have shown that staying mentally stimulated can slow the progress of Alzheimer\u2019s and Dementia.<\/p>\n

4. VOCABULARY<\/strong><\/p>\n

With reading you improve your vocabulary, learn more words and be more articulate. Reading can make you well-spoken and knowledgeable on a variety of topics, and this can improve your writing fluency too.<\/p>\n

5. ENTERTAINMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reading can also be entertaining; from sports to poetry, fashion, novels and religious books, reading can be a form of entertainment.<\/p>\n

6. BETTER ANALYTICAL SKILLS <\/strong><\/p>\n

Reading a book, analysing it and discussing it could boost your analytical skills. With this, you’ll consider various aspects involved in the story and take note of all the details provided — and it turn, you’ll have stronger analytical skills.<\/p>\n

7. EASE STRESS <\/strong><\/p>\n

Reading an interesting piece can help ease you off stress and tension, and it can keep your mind off a lot of worries.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Social media and technology have taken away the importance of reading in the 21st century, but reading comes with a lot of benefits, and it\u2019s a culture that shouldn’t be done away it.<\/p>\n
