Reading

 Hello, today I will be sharing with you a part of my quick write that is about reading and why you should read.

What are the benefits of reading?

Reading books such as recipe books, true stories, guide books, encyclopedias and many others can teach you new skills like cooking, travelling and discovering new facts about the world.Children are reading less and less every day, only 35% of children in England like reading “very much”, that's even less countries like Russia, Ireland New Zealand and Australia. Worst of all, studies have shown that 20% of children in England read well by age 11. Reading is a very important skill, throughout life being able to read will be vital. People who read more are usually able to get better job opportunities, reading for pleasure also has benefits, children who read more at age 10 usually get better marks in tests. Today's digital world means that many kids are less likely to read than in the past. With all this technology reading is no longer the main form of entertainment.
