The importance of not reading like a writer and just enjoying the book, poem or any written peace is to me more important than reading like a writer. I feel sometimes over analyzing can sometimes take away from the piece itself. But some say reading like a writer can help strengthen your skills in communication and storytelling. More importantly, it can help you to become a more persuasive person, which is an essential skill to have if you’re trying to convince someone you’re right, pitch an idea or sell yourself for a job you really want. Studies show that reading for pleasure makes a big difference to children’s educational performance. Likewise, evidence suggests that children who read for enjoyment every day not only perform better in reading tests than those who do not, but also develop a broader vocabulary, increased general knowledge and a better understanding of other cultures.
