Reading is a wonderful way of fostering literacy in teenagers.
However, daily reading has benefits that go way beyond childhood. Establishing the skills needed for reading is vital for work and everyday activities such as filling out forms and following written instructions.
Helping high school students develop successful reading strategies is one of the greatest gifts you can give them. Effective reading skills give students access to wonderful new worlds.
This article will highlight some benefits of reading, and offer practical advice to boost your confidence and reading enjoyment.
Aside from its necessity, reading has wide-ranging cognitive and literacy-building benefits. Over the next few days, we will discuss these benefits.
📚Benefit #1
Enhanced brain activity
Unlike watching television or streamed entertainment, reading requires focus. This engages the mind and stimulates more brain regions than passive forms of entertainment.
In a study at Emory University, for example, researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to scan the brains of students before and after reading Pompeii, a novel by Robert Harris. In the days after reading sections of the book, they found increased connectivity in the brain areas involved in receptivity for language, plus physical sensation and movement.
