Why reading stories?

I've heard it said that the average speaker of a language uses only around 10% of his or her vocabulary in everyday speech. So, if you're relying on speaking to learn your target language, you're unlikely to ever hear 90% of the words in the vocabulary of the average native speaker. By learning with stories, on the other hand, you get to see high-quality, well-written language. That means more words, better grammar, and ultimately a much higher level of literacy and education in the language.
