What are the benefits of reading more frequently?

Question

Does it enable you to think more logically and quickly? Do you think reading is more important than math?

Answer 1

I believe that reading more frequently relaxes you, informs you, and increases your vocabulary. It will definitely help you in school/life. If you have a high reading level it means that you are able to comprehend bigger words. If you read more you will find yourself using more "big" words.

Answer 2

The more you read, the more you know about life, people, ideas, words, et al, giving you tools to think logically and quickly with.  

   Reading is important to math  because often poor readers do not understand what is being asked in a math problem.

It is not necessary to neglect one for the sake of the other.
