You're welcome, Tasha.

Both sentences are grammatically correct, but they have slightly different meanings.

1. "He changes by learning to read."
In this sentence, "learning to read" means acquiring the skill or ability to read. The focus is on the process of learning itself, and the change that happens to him is a result of this skill acquisition. It implies that the act of learning to read brings about the change in him.

2. "He changes by learning how to read."
In this sentence, "learning how to read" refers to the process of acquiring the knowledge and understanding of reading. The focus is on the understanding and knowledge gained from learning to read. It suggests that the change in him is a consequence of gaining this understanding and knowledge.

To determine which sentence is appropriate, consider the context and the intended meaning. If the emphasis is on the act of learning and the skill acquisition, then "learning to read" is suitable. On the other hand, if the emphasis is on the understanding and knowledge gained, then "learning how to read" would be more appropriate.
