What are the benefits you get from reading?

I get a lot of benifit from reading to. Both for entertainment value and I learn a lot about a lot of things from reading magazine articles. I learn a lot about health issues, housecleaning, cooking, new ways to save money, new web sites. I can learn a lot from reading and then I can pass on that knowledge to others on sites that I write for. Reading makes me a better writer.

well for me it is very beneficial to read because i read mostly history because that is where my interests lie. i love history and pretty much everything i read is history so i tend to learn a lot that way.

i love reading because it takes me to a different world. It helps my imagination grow and I learn different things when I read more. Sometimes reading has helped my own writing and helped me figure out how to add different elements into my writing. generally though it is for enjoyment.

For me reading is an scape from my worries. Reading takes my mind away from problems. Away from this ruthless world we live in. While reading I can lost myself in the pages and forget everything for a few seconds.

i learn a lot of new words to add to my vocabulary. i also read to escape from the problems and difficulties of real life. reading books is a great way to relax.

when i was very young ,i like to read some tales,as i grow up,i would love to read some materials about science and technology,i think books is very good to anyone,i have got much knowledge form these things,and they make me more intelligent.

Hi, careguarden! The benefits that I know of are: Your mind can be expanded. Your spelling and language skills are increased. You are able to use contex clues better. It also allows you to feel relaxed. When I read it takes me into another dimension. I feel as if I am in the story and that I can see what is all that is taking place. Reading makes me forget about my problems and struggles. It keeps me in peace. I am more quieter and less distracted. Reading makes you aware of many things in life. It allows you to see things from another persons point of view. You can learn so much for reading.

I started reading story books and fables when I was 3 years old and I have never stopped. I believe that reading books as a child builds up the character as a person. Books are an important part of our growth and the more a person reads, the more matured he will get. It gives knowledge, a great past time and helps us in the future. Reading in itself is a very good habit.

By reading I learn how to do things. It expands my knowledge on different subjects that I like to learn about. Reading some books can be very entertaining. By reading I can get other people point of view on a certain subject.

Reading is a excellent habit which should be inculcated in each and every kid from their childhood. It is a productive hobby and you get to know many things through reading. I love reading and used to read the school books even before the school session begins as soon as the books are bought. That used to help me recollect the lessons when the teacher teaches in the class. Books are a source of immense knowledge and an individual who does not have the habit of reading is really missing something great in life. So i would request one and all to make the habit of reading.

I started reading books in my childhood. I used to read a lot of classics. I have learnt a lot from those. And gradually Charles Dickens has become my all time favourite author. It is very hard to say in short what we learn from reading. We learn the life, about this world, humanity and of course the language. Reading open up your mind and gives you a power of knowledge. I believe there's no power like power of knowledge. I love to read and I love to share my knowledge.

Reading has many benefits that continue to enhance our lives. It contributes on some ways mentally, spiritualy, and socially. Developing a habit reading will become more confident in gaining knowledge and self assured in comprehending and understanding all types of information. Thus reading can make a difference in our lives.

For many, reading has many benefits that continue to enhance their lives. Their lives are bettered in some the following ways: mentally, spiritually and sociality. Also, if we develop a habit reading will we become more confident and self assured in abilities to comprehend and understand all types of information. Let's further examine some of the benefits of reading. One of the other main benefits of reading is that it exercises your mind. Your mind begins to bend and flex mentally, It stays lose and limber so to you can flow easier through the course of the day. The regular routine ensures that the reading muscle stays in good shape as well as the mind. Just like physical exercise, there has to be a determination to make reading part of your life.

It is a pity for me, it seems i do not read more and always be busy with something. So i am very tired, now, i try to change the living way and make myself confident and happy, ths, my darling, enjoy reading now.

Reading has many benefits. From a educational point of view reading expands you knowledge on the subject/subjects that you often read about, it expands your vocabulary, teaches you to spell correctly and write the proper way and many more that I can think of right now. But reading is not just about education but also entertainment. Who isn't prone to a flight of fancy, losing yourself in a world that you have no direct access to. Reading stories, whether it be fiction or true life stories, allows you to experience worlds beyound your scope, gives you food for thought, makes you even realize that your life is not so bad, perhaps even terrific. Reading is also great for passing the time when you are waiting at the docter, for your date or wherever. The shame is that too many young kids these days don't read, or should I rather say, read only what they can from their cellphone. One of my friend's daughter sent me a birthday party invite via sms use sms jargon and I had to read the sms about 6 times before I understood the whole message. The problem is that these youngsters then tend to use that same sms jargon elswhere. Let me leave you with this question; how can we motivate our children to read more books, even if it is only magazines.

Truthfully, when i was a child during my elementary years i am more active in sports and less reading. My mother usually organize my time, controls and limit with my activities. She usually discplined and train to read pocketbooks. At those times, i am really, really mad at my mother since i did not find reading enjoyable. I never use my imagination when reading i usually fall asleep. Nonetheless, times has passed that i grew day by day a mature child, i learn how to use my imaginations and enjoyed little by little reading books, pocketbooks particularly sci-fi books. Now i am loving it.
