Is all reading valuable? I will argue that all types of reading are beneficial. No matter the label of classical or fictional fun, reading engages our minds in exploration and adventure. Enabling us to learn and advance in grammar, vocabulary, and much more. I will also argue who has the right to say whether what we are reading is valuable. Some of the most prestigious works of literature were once regarded as pointless scribble, however today such works from Fitzgerald are masterpieces. Therefore the devaluing pressure placed on more eccentric novels such as Twilight is biased.
Claim: All reading is valuable, whether it is classic literature or a light fictional read; the knowledge obtained from reading makes us smarter.
Reason: The stimulation our brain receives from reading enhances our vocabulary and grammar.
Evidence: Studies show that people of all ages are more likely to succeed and prosper from life if they read more. People who read are more likely to make more money and obtain more knowledge applied to different aspects of life

I think you make a great point! I have yet to see anyone argue the fact that, in deed, ALL reading is good and beneficial to us.
I like what you said about literature from past generations, and how they were once considered “pointless scribble” and now depicted as “masterpieces”.
Another reason you could talk about, is the that there's no way to prove that one reading is more beneficial than another, because that is based on someones personal opinion, and NOT a fact.
