Why is reading books good for you?

Scientifically proven benefits of reading books

• Reading strengthens your brain
• Reading improves concentration
  
• Reading builds your vocabulary
• Readings helps to reduce stress
• Reading may help you live longer

Once again...
Write the title & author of the book you've chosen

How much do you like the
topic (onderwerp) of your book?

😒🙁😐🙂😃

How difficult do you think your book will be?

😒🙁😐🙂😃

Good book checklist:

• You like the topic of the book
  

• The book is not too difficult

If your book doesn't check both of these requirements, consider getting a different book. You can still change now but remember, it's time to start reading your book this week!

Where and how to read

What do you think
is a good reading
setting?

Reading setting

• Go offline, put your electronics away
• Set a timer
• Read together
• Create a cosy setting

Tip: Is there an audio version of

your book? This may help while reading

Think about a setting for yourself to read... You will read at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes each time without your phone/laptop.
1) When will you do this? 2) Where will you read?

Reading moments

The three reading moments you've decided on...

note them in your agenda!

Your homework for the coming weeks is to read at least

three times a week for 30 minutes each time.

Any questions?
