Summer reading may be over but reading
throughout the school year has more than just good grades associated with
it. Research shows that an immersive
read, regardless of the type of book, can result in an immediate mental insight
boost.
How could that be?
1) As you picture the scenes from each chapter your
visualization skills sharpen.
2) A workout for your brain as memory and focus come together
to organize the incoming details as you read.
3) Critical thinking heightens as you begin evaluating what
your are absorbing from the content.
Individuals who read books that engage
their minds regularly reap the long term benefits such as,
feeling more compassionate and empathetic within one
month. Having your children read opens
their minds to different views, opinions, experiences and places that help them
put themselves in other people’s shoes to
see other aspects of life.
3) Want to be 52% less likely to develop cognitive
impairment? According to a study in the
Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, a theory for this
statistic is that reading activates the neural pathways that lessen with age.
Reading each night with children
encourages reading habits that last long after the dismissal bell.
