Fun Facts: Reading Books

Reading and having access to books are two things that many of us today, in the developed world take for granted. We are made to learn to read in school and most of us don’t think twice about being able to read. In the digital age of information, with various media, video and other entertainment being widely available, it seems less people are reading books.

But did you know that reading books has numerous benefits? Aside from being a relaxing and enjoyable activity, reading books keeps your mind active and engaged, unlike watching TV, video or even the skim type of reading on the Internet. Reading books has been shown to increase our memory, creativity, vocabulary, focus, concentration, problem solving skills, self-esteem and much more!

The more we learn about the world and possibilities around us, whether through fiction or non-fiction, the more we tend to become open minded, tolerant of others, compassionate and embrace the fullness of life. Whether from a store or library, re-ignite your love for books and see where the words take you…
