Reading is something I really enjoy doing.  It is way I get ideas about things and communicate ideas I learn to others
I love to read.  It's an escape for me, to be able to transport yourself into another reality.
yes you can share what you learn and the ideas and information you glean can be shared with others
It's amazing that many young people struggle with reading. I feel it's one of those basic necessities in life.
yes, reading is something not taught well today it takes practice and development which todays society does not advocate b/c their is to many other activities to do
And time, today's kids are so focused on all the other stuff that teachers assign, there is no time to just read a book for enjoyment.
Also reading requires kids to have creativity which is hard with the instant gratification that we have today
Agreed.  Society as a whole has that instant gratification problem, but it is much more prevalent in the younger generation.
