Ultimately, reading stories is a flexible and rewarding way to learn, no matter how much time I have. Whether I have just a few minutes between appointments or an entire afternoon to dedicate to a book, I can always dive into a story and emerge with something new. Whether it's a small increase in vocabulary, a boost in reading speed, or just the joy of exploring a new world through literature, every reading session brings its own rewards. And it’s amazing how much I continue to grow, all while having a great time.
