THE BENEFITS OF READING ; Thomaskutty Mathew - Team 3

              Benefits of Reading 



"Reading changes your life. Reading unlocks worlds unknown or forgotten, taking travelers around the world and through time. Reading helps you escape the confines of school and pursue your own education". These are the words uttered by Donalyn Miller, who is often known as "The Book Whisperer". 

Books are the mystery of human creativity. Books play an important role as a teacher, guide, and friend in our life. Life is lifeless without books. They can guide and motivate us. They can make us creative. They are the only written ones which allows us to have a peep into the past, present and future. We can explore many things. Infact, they takes us to the unattainable heights, to the crown of imagination. 

According to the English Novelist Somerset Maugham, “To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.” The benefits of reading can be summarised as follows:-

* Reading fosters our vocabulary. 

* It reduces stress. 

* It fights depression. 

* It improves our memory power, concentration and fosters cognitive attitude. 

* It improves one's writing skills. 

* It improves general knowledge. 

* Improves thinking skills. 

* Improves our conversation skills. And

* It improves overall intelligence. 

Finally to sum up,as Eric Ripert, the Frech Author says:- “The importance of reading, for me, is that it allows you to dream. Reading not only educates, but is relaxing and allows you to feed your imagination – creating beautiful pictures from carefully chosen words.”
