Jem is maturing and Atticus told him not to get upset about people making fun of himself so when Jem gets upset and ruins the plants Atticus makes him read to her because he knows it is a 'mature' thing for him to do, it teaches Jem to own up to what he did, Walk in someone else's shoes (underlying theme), and Atticus knows she's addicted to morphine and she might die, and also that she is alone and has no one to read to her.
