I Love Reading

And there are so many ways to read!


Reading is the process of taking in the sense or meaning of letters, symbols, etc., especially by sight or touch. For educators and researchers, reading is a multifaceted process involving such areas as word recognition, orthography (spelling), alphabetics, phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and motivation. Reading for pleasure has been linked to:

  • ~Increased cognitive progress in vocabulary and mathematics during adolescence.
  • ~Sustained high volume lifetime reading has been associated with high levels of academic attainment.
  • ~Research suggests that reading can improve stress management, memory, focus, writing skills, and imagination.
  • ~Research suggests that reading books and writing are among the brain-stimulating activities that can slow down cognitive decline in seniors.
