Reading benefits – reading is not only informative and entertaining but extremely educational. Much of the things we learn are “absorbed” through our subconscious mind.
It “registers” information by constant reading like proper word usage, correct spelling, and correct punctuation. In contrast, the reading matter entertains us, and we are not much “aware” of our lessons learned!
We begin to wonder when we write ourselves, where our certainty about the right spelling of a word, the insertion of a comma and the usage of a word originates.
Our subconscious mind “has registered” most of these things without much of our “conscious awareness” and instructs our “conscious mind” of correct applications here and there which otherwise we did not learn, but are suddenly aware of, quite often to the point of even understanding the grammatical or only logical reasons for it being so!
And look at our reading matter! It not only entertains but imprints or informs us of the subject we wanted to know. Books read in proper order and sequence can make up quite knowledgeable on specific topics! We may not become lecturers or experts, but we can call ourselves reasonably educated.
Let’s not forget all enlightenment and comprehending of new and “improved” ways based on “prior knowledge” faithfully written down and recorded as things were at the time. We are thus bringing about that our latest findings and improvements are “built-up” “brick by brick” into the “proud edifices” of knowledge we have today.
Likewise, can every single person improve or add to their knowledge of whatever subject they wish! Piece by piece of information added together through one book or more and became quite knowledgeable.
Reading is excellent news, the best there is in improving one’s state of mind, educational limitations and one’s general awareness. It gives one more topic to talk about then the experiences of one’s daily routine.

Further note:
Another reading benefit is, it assists in building up your vocabulary, for instance, you may come across words you have not come into contact with before and to understand the content of the paragraph, you will need to look up the words or word from a dictionary.
There will not be a need for repetitive phrases in either written work or speech.
