Daily Dose of Reading

Reading 15 pages per day from printed books can boost brain power in several ways: 1) It can improve memory and recall of information compared to reading digitally since holding and feeling a printed book helps with retention of details. 2) Reading printed books promotes better concentration and understanding of content which allows readers to remember it better. 3) Regular reading in print is associated with slower cognitive decline in older adults and benefits children's language development and inspires independent reading.
