Reading opens the door to the magical world of fantasy, mystery, beauty, and much more. If you read, you become a better reader. The more you read, the better you read. The more you read, the better vocabulary you develop. If you tend to fall asleep when reading as I do, then read for short bits of time and then take a break. Let your mind digest what you have read and then pick that book or kindle up again. If you find a book boring, don't stop, give the author, at least, 100 pages if you are reading a chapter book or 300 pages or, perhaps more! Sometimes the book does get better! I know! I've discovered that fact. You may be surprised to find that the book does become indulging with the more you get into it. Give the author a chance.
