<h2 id="Reading">Reading Books is Boringgg!</h2>
<p>I have a child who used to hate reading books. It is hard to get kids to read anything as they think it is a boring activity that does not involve any &ldquo;play&rdquo; or action. I have always been an avid reader since childhood and that&rsquo;s why I know why it is important for my child to get in the habit of reading books!</p>
<p>The academic benefits of reading books are well known to us. From increasing our vocabulary to helping us gain different perspectives of the same story, reading books has a lot to offer! It also helps build concentration and makes up for a great hobby in this digitally dominated world.</p>

<h2 id="Importance">The Importance of Reading Books</h2>
<h3><strong>Enhances vocabulary:</strong></h3>
<p>Reading requires discovering new words and their meanings, sentences, and passages and forming your own understanding of them.</p>
<h3><strong>Stimulates the imagination:</strong></h3>
<p>Reading books create visuals in the readers&rsquo; mind. Words have immense power. If your child reads with concentration, they can actually visualize the scene in their minds, helping them understand the story better.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It is always said that the more reading you do, the better your writing will be. Reading books broadens our knowledge of words and sentence construction which in turn impacts our quality of writing essays or answers.&nbsp;</p>
