It helps us relate to other people and encourages us to be kind and considerate of other people's feelings. As it turns out, reading can actually help improve empathy. When people read stories about other people's lives, it helps them develop the skills to understand the world through another person's perspective.
How can reading change the world?
Reading helps us see things from new perspective and gives us humility and compassion, but those things aren't valuable unless they're used. Reading a book that helps you understand the story of a gay teenager, but then not standing up for a classmate who's being bullied for being gay doesn't make much sense.
Reading teaches you new words and perspectives. It helps strengthen language and sharpens sentence structure. It gives you a better command over the language. All of these are critical to being a good speaker.
