Today I'm beginning a thread called 100 reasons to read books. Benefits include personal growth, entertainment and mental health. I will share one reason each day.

1. Helps you learn new things.

Children initially learn to read by linking sounds and letters and expanding vocabulary through reading. Reading supports the brain’s ability to remember facts, events, and details, creating stronger neural pathways.

100 reasons to read books.

22. Improves conversational skills.

Reading books improves conversational skills primarily by expanding vocabulary, enhancing language comprehension, and providing knowledge and topics to discuss. Reading exercises the brain, helping to improve concentration, patience, and memory, which are essential for effective communication. It also fosters empathy and better understanding of other people’s thoughts and emotions by immersing readers in diverse perspectives and social situations. Reading aloud further enhances pronunciation, fluency, and confidence in speaking, making conversations smoother and more engaging.
