10 Benefits of Reading
1. Kids who read often and widely get better at it.
This is pretty much just common sense.

2. Reading exercises our brains.
Reading is a much more complex task for the human brain than, say, watching TV is.
Reading strengthens brain connections and actually builds new connections. - See more at: http://www.best-books-for-kids.com/benefits-of-reading.html#sthash.1m83EMnc.dpuf
