Reading is not just a means of information acquisition; it is one of the most important ways to enhance critical thinking. When we read complex texts, our comprehension abilities increase and we develop analytical thinking patterns. Through reading, we assimilate new concepts and understand topics more deeply. This enhances our discernment and provides the ability to understand various nuances. Over time, we do not merely absorb information, but begin synthesizing them to create new thought patterns. A good reader becomes cognizant that every text or information contains a specific paradigm. The habit of reading helps us make judicious decisions and strengthens our rationalization abilities. By developing skills in inference and extrapolate, we can analyze any subject more deeply, which increases scrutiny and metacognition. Therefore, developing reading habits means enhancing the depth of thinking and eloquence.
