My dad always says, “reading is fundamental.” I agree with him, reading is very necessary for living. It’s good to know how to read especially for school but it’s better if you can read for fun. And here’s why.
Why you should read for fun...
1. Reading takes you places
Reading books takes people on many adventures. All books take you to another life
Such as Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief. It took many readers back to 1939 in Nazi Germany to show life was through an innocent young girl’s eyes. (And before you go on and say why don’t I just watch the diary of Ann Frank, it’s not like that. It’s a different story)
2. Reading makes you a better writer
Reading exposes people to other writing styles and genres of writing. It exposes readers to writing that is better than their own and they learn from it. Reading increases your vocabulary and the correct usage of new words.
3. Reading improves your memory skills.
When reading a novel there are an assortment of characters. You have to remember each one’s background, where they are from and what the did.
4. Reading is a good hobby
Reading is a very good hobby to get into. It will make you more smarter and empathic.
5. Some books are free
You can visit your local library or if you’re in school you can go to your Media Center and go check out a book. Or apps like Wattpad are free and you can read a lot of fan fictions and other books on there. (Some of them/ most of them on Wattpad are not good just a warning) Do check out my novel I wrote and posted on Wattpad though. It’s called The Leftovers by Tyrantttt , I will include a link here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/148832857-the-leftovers
and it looks like this:
Reading will take you to so many different places. So where will reading take you?
