Reading is typically an individual activity, done silently, although on
occasion a person reads out loud for other listeners; or reads aloud for
one's own use, for better comprehension.
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.
Reading has also been shown to
improve stress management, memory, focus,
writing skills, and imagination.
The cognitive benefits of reading continue into mid-life and the senior
years. Reading books and writing are among brain-stimulating activities
shown to slow down cognitive decline in seniors.
