Reading is good for you.

      Reading can help to improve your life with several benefits. The first benefit that you can develop through reading is to develop your vocabulary. Learning new words while in context can help to remember the new words. As your vocabulary grows you can read more complicated material. The next benefit from reading is you can develop better critical thinking skills. Paragraphs are typically constructed around one main idea supported by a number of details that help to explain the main idea more completely. This main idea is normally referred to as the topic. Knowing the structure of paragraphs provides a framework with which to improve critical thinking through clarity and organization. A third benefit of reading is to improve your concentration and focus. In order to follow a story or explanation you need to pay attention by focusing on the text and concentrating on what is being said. The more you practice this skill the stronger your focus and concentration will become. With stronger concentration also comes improved memory and critical thinking skills. One last benefit of reading is to simply be entertained. The amount of information that is currently available to people these days is astounding. No matter the genre there is a topic for everyone. By finding a genre that is important to you can open up a world of possibilities for all kinds of great benefits.
