Why Reading and Writing Are Important

I don’t remember how I learned to read or write but its an important skill to know. Reading and writing can help with any little problems. reading helps kids and people of all ages escape reality when they feel stressed or they feel like just giving up. Reading a book will help you forget the real world, I know this because that’s what I used to do when I was feeling down. When I read the book I felt like I was actually in the story, like with the story “The Sanctuary Of School” she was describing how she would be watching tv with the sound watching steve allens mouth moving I actually felt like I was in the living room watching what they were watching. In order to use reading as a way to escape reality one must have a very active imagination, you must be able to picture and listen to every single little detail that is being described by the author.

But where to look for books and literature to read on the Internet? We have created a list of free book resources for you, read our article. Reading can help a lot of people who are stressed or people struggling through tuff times and want to be alone. Reading a book will help you overcome any obstacle, because it helps relax you knowing that at the end of every story there is always a happy ending. Teachers should be showing kids at a young age that books can help, that books will keep you going when you feel like giving up. Theres a lot of different categories that you can read about it all depends on what on what you like to read from suspense, horror, action, and even comedy any of these will help you keep your mind clear of anything bothering you.

Writing is also a good way to get rid of stress and keep your mind clear. Writing is also good to keep memories, you can write down what you did that day, why you did it, and you can write down little details. You can talk about what your wearing what tough times you are going through how you solve them or whats going on in that exact moment. This would help because in the future if your going through tough times you can go back read about the bad times and how your still here and went through everything. Looking back at mistakes you made and how you made it through will help you stay happy and achieve even more in life. If your writing is good it may also be used to help others you might be the reason why people are happy. You might be the one to help them escape reality and just live life happy.

Even though I don’t remember how I learned to read and write because of my horrible memory I learned that if I would have wrote down everything I did it would have helped me get through tough times. Right now im very busy my day is just school in the morning then come home eat and head straight to work. Work isn’t really that hard depending on what they make me do, either making the lids for the steel drums with the press or just stacking them on a pallet. I work from 40-52 hours a week, I haven’t had the chance to find a book that interest me. Reading helps me relieve stress, it helps me relax and stay focused what I need to do. Reading and writing should be encouraged everywhere to help kids and adults live happy and learn that whenever they need to be somewhere else they can escape reality by just reading a book.
