Should we pay more attention to coding or reading? Pro is coding, con is reading.

In a nutshell, their argument so far is as follows: 1) Reading helps us spell. 2) Coding damages out imagination. 3) Reading develops the mind. I would like to acknowledge that yes, reading does help us learn how to spell. However, in today's era, with the existence of spellchecking and grammar-checking software (produced by coders), the ability to write in a conventionally accepted way is nowhere near as important as it used to be- it is perfectly possible to type an entire essay with perfect spelling and grammar despite making mistakes with spelling and grammar, and that is all thanks to coding. The ability to spell correctly is also not a vital skill. Though, yes, it looks unprofessional to spell words incorrectly, if I were to refer to "Mississipi" or "Neccessary", you'd understand perfectly well what I meant, and ultimately that is what language is for- communication. Hence, prescriptivist notions regarding spelling are outdated and unnecessary. The notion that coding damages one's imagination is frankly ridiculous- using VPython, for instance, it is even possible to simulate an entire universe in which the laws of physics are tweaked slightly, for your own amusement- I myself decided to see what it would be like if conservation of energy was not obeyed, and instead particles doubled in kinetic energy every time they collided. Needless to say, it was a beautiful and entertaining thought experiment, and one which would have been impossible to visualise without modern computing. Yes, reading develops one's mind, but coding does in a similar way; both coding and reading benefit one's creative thoughts, but coding also benefits one's logical ability. For instance, one can perform differential calculus of polynomial functions very simply, using just five lines of code, specifically: "def polynomial_derivative(coefficients, powers): for n in range(len(coefficients)): coefficients[n]*=powers[n] powers[n]-=1 return(coefficients, powers)" It takes years to develop the mathematical skills required to perform differential calculus manually. It takes minutes to plug it into some computer code. With refutation out of the way, I will now commence to argue my main case: 1) Advanced coding is more beneficial to modern society than advanced reading: Okay, so you need to be able to read and write to a basic level, but assuming one could either have basic reading skills and advanced computing skills, or conversely, advanced reading skills and basic computing skills, the former is clearly more desirable- social media, the worldwide web, mobile telephones, modern physics and mathematics- all of these things are fundamental to our everyday life, and none of them could have been accomplished without advanced coders. Sure, it's great to be able to understand the works of William Shakespeare or George Orwell, but those are secondary activities, and, though pleasurable, do not serve society as a whole as coding does. 2) Coding develops the mind in a way that reading doesn't: Both coding and reading are creative and imaginative activities. In those areas, the two are equivalent. Coding, however, also develops logical skills in a way reading doesn't. It should be emphasised for that reason. 3) The wording of the motion: The wording of the motion is that we should *pay more attention to*- and while I wouldn't have a leg to stand on if I were trying to argue we should learn to code at the cost of not learning to read at all, we can learn both but emphasise coding more, and for the above reasons, I genuinely believe we should. As I have now provided refutation towards my opponent's points and three of my own points, I feel I should follow the convention of British Parliamentary and Oxford Union style debates and leave it at that for this round.
