1. It grows the amount of white matter
When children improve their reading skills, their brains develop and the amount of white matter grows. It organises connections and co-ordinates the different parts of the brain – a basic skill. as it improves, all other skills develop easily.
2. Neural connections are strengthened
MRI studies have shown increased inter-neuronal connections especially in the lobe responsible for speech understanding, even after simply reading a book (2013, neuroscientist Gregory Burns of Emory University).
3. The reader becomes a character in the book
The imagination is actively developed. You, of course, do not turn yourself into some kind of fallen into other historical epochs, but your brain works in such a way that the actions of the hero as if you happen to you. The neurons of the central sulcus responsible for movement are activated (Burns’ research). At the level of the brain, you are acting along with the hero.
4. The memory capacity of the reader is increased
Virtually all types of memory are involved, not just visual memory, content and phonemic analysis of speech (Haskins, Yale University). In the modern school, as in life in general, pace is required. Reading wins in this sense. It gives the student more time to process what he or she has read and to construct descriptions, requiring retention of the material in memory. Daily memory training takes place.
5. The ability to concentrate improves
The reading is sequential, allowing the reader not to pick out every detail, but to draw a whole story and get a kind of cinema. The student understands connections and learns to make predictions, thus improving the ability to hold their attention for long periods of time.
6. Vocabulary increases
There is no other source of new words now. At home – everyday speech. Among peers – slang. That leaves books. Read with your children, encourage them to read independently. It’s a favour that can’t be appreciated.
