Answer 1

Supportive reason 1: Reading improves your conversational skills. Because reading increases your vocabulary and your knowledge of how to correctly use new words, reading helps you clearly articulate what you want to say. The knowledge you gain from reading also gives you lots to talk about with others

Supportive reason 2: Reading introduces you to new ideas and invites you to solve problems. It helps you detect patterns, work out problems, and assimilate new information as if you were living in the characters’ shoes.

Supportive reason 3: Reading challenges your imagination. As you read, you put yourself in the characters’ shoes. Your brain goes beyond the words on the page, imagining details such as appearances, emotions, and surroundings.
