What book does Jem read to mrs dubose?
At first, it seems that Jem reads to Mrs. Dubose because Atticus is punishing him by telling him to go to Mrs. Dubose and apologize for what he has done. Mrs. Dubose tells him in order to make up the mess he created, he has to read to her for two hours a day for a month. Jem had pulled out many camellias and leaves on Mrs. Dubose's property because he was anguished by her comments on his father. Mrs. Dubose was the first adult to say that Atticus is no better than black people and the trash (being a lawyer) works for. After Mrs.Dubose dies, we learn that Atticus would have even asked him to de so if he didn't wreck her property. It turns out that she was a morphine addict and to get of the drug Jem would read to her so her mind and body would be of the drug so she can break her habit before she dies. Hope this helps :)

She is a creepy and scary old woman who is used to yell bad things towards two innocent kids, Scout and Jem about how they'll arrive to absolutely nothing when they grow up. Coming from an adult, things like that are taken pretty badly by two children. Jem takes her abuse without answering until she says something mean about his father, Atticus. Then, what Mrs Dubose says finally gets to him. It didn't before, but Jem is really close to his father and can't take it anymore. One afternoon, while he was coming back at home, Jem takes Scout's new baton and cuts off all of Mrs. Dubose's camellia bush in her garden. Atticus sends him down to apologize to the old lady, and she asks Atticus several times that Jem reads to her for two hours every afternoon during an entire month. Jem is absolutely not happy about that punishment he was assigned to. Sadly he doesn't have any other options, so he does what she asked him to do and hates this annoying punishment. Just after his ''sentence'' ends, Mrs. Dubose dies right away and leaves Jem a single perfect camellia blossom. It was like a present she gave him to thank him after what he did. Atticus explains to his son that the scary Mrs. Dubose was in fact nothing else than a morphine addict, and that she died after she could at last finally free herself from her addiction.
