Reading is an essential skill that helps readers obtain information, gain knowledge, and expand their perspectives. It is a process that involves readers both decoding and comprehending written materials and is crucial for personal growth. Due to its significant role in advancing learners’ proficiency in the target language, reading plays a crucial role in language learning. It enhances vocabulary and grammar skills, improves comprehension skills, provides cultural knowledge and awareness, and serves as a motivator for learners to continue their language learning journey. This paper tries to explore the benefits of reading for the development of language skills.
