Do you ever consider the benefits of reading? Some consider the act of reading to be a creative one. Scientists have found that reading stories can assist us to increase our feeling of empathy for others through identifying with the characters in a novel or story.
It seems that reading is more than just a task to improve literacy, there is much more than we can gain through reading.
