Reading

One of the areas which drew my attention in todays academic writing workshop is 'Reading'. According to our learning development coordinator 'RUTH COWARD' reading leads to effective writing which is true.
I must add reading also enhances your creativity. Reading interests me a lot. Reading switches you to a different world. Different books make you feel different emotions.
I came across LARA BUTLER'S blog which talks about reading and creativity.

There are so many methods for you to entertain yourself. You can listen to sounds, watch series or read a nice book. Of course, almost all individuals would select the first two selections and just a few will select to read a good book; many individuals end up believing this to be unexciting.

Steve Jobs, founder of the Apple Software Company, noted that individuals read less nowadays and that, in reality, close to 40% of Americans do not do it ever. This is very much distracting because reading is the topmost important task that persons need to be in to be able to push through their competence and innovativeness.

It has been found that reading has a range of advantages like improving vocabulary and increasing mental alertness. It has also been noted that reading improves the cognitive skills of a person which is the skill used in the process of having new information, interpretation, insight and even instinct.

Reading also develops the innovativeness of a person not like watching movies or television. What happens is that when a person reads, the procedure exercises his or her imagination to be able to develop the outline and characters inside his or her mind. Thereby, an individual who uses most of his or her time in the library is guaranteed to have more elevated cognitive skills compared to people who do not read at all.

Gladly, right now, persons are provided with a lot of options when it goes down to reading because books and other stories are already available in electronic form. But, there are just a few sites that provide a set of stories on any topic and one of these sites is Stop and Read. This site gives various short stories from true life situations and drama that would not only engross but also offer you useful lessons; the tales also develop innovation and cognitive abilities.

I feel reading helps me improve and enhance my imagination. I tend to visualize the whole drama!!!!!!
