Modern societies have many opportunities to read varieties
of books, which show to make people smarter. Today, many
people can and have improved the way of thinking by just
reading.
By saying reading, not only books are mentioned, but also
newspapers, articles and magazines are included too.
However, reading is a cognitive process of understanding a
written linguistic message. Reading makes us smarter by
improving analytic thinking and increasing vocabulary
throughout your life.
Reading improves the way a person thinks. It improves your
intellectual thinking. Intellectual thinking is a vital
component of visual thinking that gives a person the ability
to solve problems quickly and effectively. For example,
when you read, you improve your general knowledge of the
subject and things in particular, and more importantly you
are able to spot patterns quicker.
If you can spot patterns quicker, your analytic or intellectual
skills receive a boost. Intellectual thinking makes you
smarter because it gives a new way to see problems.
Reading increases vocabulary. It’s no secret that reading
increases your vocabulary and improves your spelling. But
did you know that reading increases your vocabulary
directly without being taught too? Reading forces us to look
at words that we might not have seen or heard recently.
Every day, you’ll be surprised at the words you start
incorporating into your mind, conversations and writings.
Even when you get old, even when you have read lots of
books, you’ll be impressed to see that you will always learn
new words at the end of the day. Of course, this won’t
happen if you don’t read.
Of no doubt, reading improves a person’s intelligence. It
may take your time, but it improves your life by making you
smarter. People, especially children may sometimes need
to be pushed a little to read but in the end they will not be
disappointed. If your definition of “smartness” is having a
larger vocabulary and more knowledge and reasoning skills
included within the concept of intelligence, then reading may
make people smarter.
However, Charles William Eliot wrote “Books are the
quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most
accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient
of teachers.”
