Reading aids people’s brains in processing information both visually and verbally more efficiently. Brains that can’t read might also have a hard time processing verbal information, which could be why a slow reader may fall behind in other academic areas. Reading enhances every aspect of a person’s communication skills.

A study found that reading improves communication between different regions of the brain. One hundred hours of intensive reading increased the quantity of compromised white matter in children’s brains to normal levels. Neuroscientists have a theory that reading rewires certain regions of the brain responsible for both spoken language and vision. Even adults who learn to read later on in life can encounter these effects by increasing functional connectivity with the visual cortex, which may be the brain’s way of processing and fine-tuning the overflow of visual information that calls for our attention in the modern world.

Authors have suggested that reading every day can tame the late-life brain decline. Other researchers have said that reading has been proven to slow the rate of memory deterioration and the deterioration of different essential mental capacities. In other words, reading can help people live longer.
