Hey! Are you curious about why reading and writing are considered gold medals for your child’s brain? Buckle up, because we’re going to delve deep into the world of these superpowers (for both young and old), and how they unlock a treasure chest of brilliance inside you!
Reading: Your Ticket to Epic Adventures and a Sharper Mind
Imagine being transported to a medieval castle, or solving mysteries with a brilliant detective, or even exploring the mysteries of the ocean with a team of daring marine biologists – all without leaving your comfy chair! That’s the magic of reading. It’s like having a personal time machine that lets you travel through history, explore different cultures, and discover mind-blowing facts about anything under the sun.
But reading isn’t just about collecting cool trivia. It’s like going to the gym for your brain! Here’s how it helps you become a mental athlete:
- Vocabulary Powerhouse: The more you read, the more words you encounter. This builds a superstar vocabulary, giving you a wider range of words to express yourself clearly and creatively.
- Comprehension Champion: Reading different types of text, from fiction to non-fiction, trains your brain for example to understand complex information, analyse arguments, and form your own opinions. Basically, you become a thinking machine!
- Memory Master: Remember those fantastical stories and intriguing characters you encounter in books? Reading strengthens your memory and helps you retain information more effectively. It’s like building a super-powered memory bank for all your glorious experiences!
Don’t just take our word for it! Researchers reported in The Journal of Multidisciplinary Graduate Research that kids who read for pleasure do better in school especially in English, Maths and Science on average. That’s like getting a bonus boost for all your subjects!
A man only learns by two things; one is reading and the other is association with smarter people.

Writing: Unleashing Your Inner Storyteller and Communication Ninja
Now, let’s talk about writing. You can capture your thoughts, emotions, and even the crazy stories that are running through your head through writing. Just like if you had a magic wand! Writing helps you organise your ideas, express yourself like a champ, and even tell your own epic tales.
Being a good writer is a must-have skill for the 21st century. Think about it – from creating stunning presentations at school to writing killer applications for future dream jobs. Strong writing skills will give you a massive advantage. Writing allows you to share your unique perspective with the world, and that’s a powerful tool for positive change!
“It’s a delicious thing to write. To be no longer yourself but to move in an entire universe of your own creating.”
