Why is it important to read?

Reading is important because you learn more words from the book you read or what ever you read. If you don't understand the words than you ask a grown up or define what it means, or you can pick another book. Also if you can't pronounce it you put one finger on the book, and if there are five fingers on the book then you choose a different book.

This can help you with probably everything you do, like writing, speaking and more. Reading helps feed your brain with what your suppose to focus on. Its good to learn new words and words you don't know how to say or the meaning of it.
