Why Read?
Reading does not only improve your learning skills to gain everyday knowledge, but it also teaches you about different literature and cultures. It's shown that students that read more, tend to get better grades and have greater attitudes about school. By reading, you broaden your vocabulary, and when writing things, you make less mistakes because you know how to understand the type of writing already. Reading is important because it keeps your brain functioning and can help you in not just school activities, but in your everyday life.
