Benefits of reading books
1)
Strong Vocabulary
As we have heard from our very childhood, the more we play around words the more it is going to make our
vocabulary strong.
The same actually goes for reading books too. Whenever we read a book, and we are in the best part of it, suddenly we stumble across an unknown word. Although it's kinda annoying, the end of the day, it helps us to put another word into our arsenal.

Reading helps us reduce stress
.
You might not believe me? But think of it for an instance, when we read, we are still. We get comfortable. Most people sit while reading. Our bodies do not carry any special movements, they rest. The breathing slows down. We calm down. We imagine ourselves the worlds or situations described by words in the book. While reading we cannot think of other tasks or worries. Because of all these reasons reading does reduce stress.
3)
Reading helps us stimulate our imagination

Whenever we are reading something, take a story, for instance, all the character sketches, plots, and scenarios are created into our mind, even when we have not seen any pictures regarding the story.
4)
Reading improves memory
