What counts as reading? Literally anything! Read a book, magazine, or newspaper. Listen to an audiobook. Read a graphic novel or comic book. Listen to a podcast. Read a picture book (on your own or to a younger sibling; we don't judge!). Spend twenty minutes catching up on your Twitter feed. Do a crossword puzzle. If we tried to list every single thing that counted, we would probably be here for a while!
