Importance of Reading..
Reading is a crucial skill for learning knowledge, but it also provides a number of other advantages. While engaged readers of all ages are often aware of the knowledge they get from reading a text, they may not be aware of all of the other important skills they are developing at the same time. Reading can help you improve your language abilities, especially if the reading material combines familiar and hard themes. Reading improves one's ability to speak and write by expanding one's vocabulary, grammar, and syntax.
As a result, reading is a particularly beneficial activity for English language learners. Even if the aim is fluency in speaking, the benefits of reading extend to their language journey.
Independent reading leads to an increased volume of reading. The more one reads, the better one reads. The more one reads, the more knowledge of words and language one acquires. The more one reads, the more fluent one becomes as a reader. The more one reads, the easier it becomes to sustain the mental effort necessary to comprehend complex texts. The more one reads, the more one learns about the people and happenings of our world. This increased volume of reading is essential
