Many parents today complain that their children do not like to read. The TV and the computer absorb the child's leisure time, leaving no chance to take a book from the shelf or even more so to go to the library. However, adults themselves are increasingly forgetting about reading, because the necessary information can be found on the Internet, and you can entertain yourself by watching a television series. Whether it is worth reading at all, going to public libraries or replenishing home - everyone decides for himself this important question.
Reading is the best teaching
It has long been proven that systematic reading of well-published, classic books increases literacy. A child who constantly sees a correctly composed text in front of him automatically memorizes the spelling of words and the principle of making sentences. In the future, he will not make annoying mistakes in the school dictation, without even thinking about the spelling.
In addition to literacy, reading books of various genres also improves vocabulary. Some terms or expressions do not appear in everyday speech, but sometimes the general context of the narrative is enough to understand what they mean. New words and expressions fit organically into the speech of the reading person, making him an interesting storyteller. The ability to captivate people with your speech, to correctly formulate a thought - all this comes with reading good and smart books.
It is important for the child to learn to concentrate on one subject. The fascinating plot of the book can make the reader involuntarily forget about everything in the world, except for the development of events in the fictional world. Both the student and the adult will need this ability to concentrate in order to sit down on less interesting things.
The book is the best friend
As a rule, for the development of erudition, it is better and easier to read fiction books than special encyclopedias and reference books. A simple set of facts will not be as remembered as the circumstances of a complex plot course, where the reader is forced to solve a detective intrigue or worry about a hero who has got into trouble. This is how the human brain works - first of all, what is interesting to a person is deposited there.
Reading develops imagination and imaginative thinking. When watching a movie, the viewer no longer needs to imagine anything - he sees the picture, hears the voice and intonation of the characters. The reader needs to imagine himself - and sometimes something that he has never seen in his life and could not have imagined, if not for a living description in the book. The first ball of Natasha Rostova or a ship raising all sails to avoid an attack by pirates - how could this have been imagined if not for the artistic skill of the writer?
It should be noted that the benefit can only be obtained from reading really good, high-quality books - those that have passed the test of time and many reprints, those that have become classics in their genre. Then two people, having met and exchanged the names of their favorite books, will be able to understand that they have common interests, that they grew up on the same ideas.
