Whether you got an e-reader for Christmas or you prefer an old-fashioned book, resolving this year to read more has huge benefits for you. What are these benefits other than the obvious enjoyment?
1. Enhances intelligence. Those who read have higher GPAs, higher intelligence quotients and more general knowledge.
2. Reduces stress.
3. Gives greater tranquility. Reading forces you to sit and be still.
4. Improves analytical thinking skills.
5. Increases your vocabulary and spelling.
6. Improves your memory; and hey, who doesn’t need that?
7. Improves writing skills.
8. Helps prioritize your goals.
If you’re worried about the cost of books, check them out at one of the TCC libraries or take advantage of the interlibrary loan system where you can check out almost any book on the planet! Challenge yourself to read at least one book a month. To get started go to library.tulsacc.edu
