Pourquoi lire des livres de culture générale quand on est ado ?
Quand on est adolescent, notre cerveau est encore en plein développement. Il est ainsi capable d’assimiler un grand nombre d’informations au quotidien, notamment à l’école. Il faut savoir qu’il n’y a pas de limite à ce qu’un cerveau peut enregistrer, à condition de bien l’entraîner. En lisant régulièrement, nous le mettons dans de bonnes conditions pour retenir ce que nous lisons. C’est pourquoi la lecture de livres de culture générale à cet âge sera aussi importante. Par ailleurs, en lisant régulièrement, on peut gagner en rapidité. Nous mettons ainsi de moins en moins de temps à lire un même nombre de mots, ce qui permet une optimisation du temps de lecture.
In addition to learning things, reading general knowledge books for teens will help them learn to learn.
We are used to research on the internet, yet books are always real gold mines that should not be forgotten.
Reading is also known to develop and cultivate curiosity, ideal for expanding one's knowledge.
Finally, your teenagers will be able to add more knowledge of new words to their vocabulary.
The words we use can say a lot about us, especially during a first meeting or a job interview, it is important to choose them carefully and use them well.
