1. DEVELOP VERBAL ABILITIES
Benefits of reading versus watching TV
Even though TV is mostly dialogue, books are better than television at increasing your vocabulary. So why is reading better for your vocabulary? TV typically uses short and simple sentences, pitched at a fourth grade level.
Good children’s books however, typically contain language twice as complex as a tv show. This means using a greater range of vocabulary, longer sentences and more complex sentences. Adult novels and especially newspapers can step up the benefits again, with even richer and more varied language.
A study of 6000 school children showed that vital knowledge was negatively affected on children over 10. Mostly because of the limited vocabulary used.
Better verbal abilities also translate to better writing skills which is important in many jobs.
2. *DEVELOP FOCUS AND CONCENTRATION*
This benefit of reading is one that TV actually damages. TV actively develops short concentration habits leading to poor focus. TV shows are made up of short ‘scenes’ between advertisement breaks. Most scenes in shows are fast paced, high action, with constantly changing camera angles. We call this the “Sesame Street syndrome” as that show changes more frequently than average.
Rapid changes are designed to stop people hitting the remote button and switching stations. So watchers of television tend to develop a short attention span or lack of focus. If you also multitask when watching TV your lack of focus gets even worse. You probably multitask because you are not fully engaged in the experience and not using mental muscles.
Books,on the other hand, develop focus and concentration skills as they engage and hold the reader’s attention. This is exercise for our focus and thinking muscles. We don’t usually take a break from reading every few minutes. In fact, we rarely do other things at the same time as reading. Sometimes we are so focused on our reading we are barely aware of the world around us at all.
3. WATCHING TV CAN LOWER YOUR IQ
Some television programs do provide great educational input. We love National Geographic as much as the next person. But more often a tv show requires little to no input or thinking by the viewer. We admit it, this is one of the attractions of television on occasion.
Trouble is, a Japanese study in 2013 found watching tv actually lowered the IQ of children. In contrast, a recent study by Emory University found reading novels created heightened connectivity in the brain for up to five days after reading. Connectivity in the brain translates to getting smarter over time. So reading can make you smarter.
