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 :)

In To Kill a Mockingbird why is Atticus so insistent about Jem's and Scout's being polite to Mrs Dubose and Jem's reading to her?
because mrs dubose is addicted to her pain medicine and she is dying so she doesnt want to die addicted to something so every day when jem is reading she waits a little longer to take it until she is finally off of the medicine and she dies a month laterAtticus says later in the novel, after Mrs Dubose dies, that "she was one of the bravest people he knew". I think that Atticus knew that Mrs Dubose was a) addicted to her morphine that she used as a painkiller and b) dying.
Why does Atticus want jem to meet Mrs dubose?
To make him realise that Mrs. Dubose wasn't purely a mean-spirited person, and that she had a plausible reason for shouting at people and being angry. She was on morphine and Jem's reading helped Mrs. Dubose to try and kick her addiction that was crippling her. Atticus wanted Jem to realise people aren't always as bad as they seem and he wanted Jem to know that he was able to help her even if he didn't want the responsibility, much like Atticus defending Tom Robinson.
