I believe that reading stories through books is better than watching TV or playing video games, because reading doesn't just enterain you. It benefits the reader in many different ways. It helps in term of reading, vocabulary, concentration, and many more. The only downside is that readers can easily get bored, because when reading there are no animation, sound, or movement. when reading you can only virtualize the settings and what is happening in the story. UNlike TV or computer games where sound could be heard, characters could be seen moving, and setting could be seen. But in the end, reading improves the reader in many ways and aspects.
