It's not, that's why they call it math

Well there are quite a few similarities. However, the one that comes to mind is what I've been trying to have Algebra students understand. When somebody says: Four x squared plus five, how would you convert that to a mathematical equation? This is a skill that many students have trouble with and need to understand how to translate the words of mathematics to a physical equation.
Again, another example which is soooo common is when a teacher says: the square root of 4x plus five [OR] the square root of the quantity 4x plus five. These are two very different expressions since the first includes the whole quantity 4x+5 under the square root. However, the second one just says that 4x is under the square root and that the plus five is separate.
I hope that helps you out! Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Sincerely,
Andrew

some parts of math have word problems that is similar to reading

They are similar in that both have rules you have to learn or memorize. Once you know the rules in both, you can figure out anything.
In reading, you memorize the alphabet and learn the sounds the letters make. Once you've done that, you can "sound out" unfamiliar words, look up words in the dictionary, etc.
In math, you learn to count and memorize rules like addition and subtraction (and more advanced principles). Once you've done that, you can figure out the solutions to problems. For example, even if you've never added the exact numbers 21,498 + 15,872, you could figure it out.

I know that math is similar to science cuz you use math in science, but im math there are word problems and you have to read that.

In both, you read and determine the meaning of what you have read including relationships, patterns, and predictions. In math, however, because it is quantitative as well as being qualtitatve, there is little room for misinterpretation of information. Less chance for ambiguity.

It's due to the fact that you need in both an understanding—to understand you need to apply logic or the science of correct thinking and the mastery of the medium of expression which in our case is English language.

Math is a language. If you can say it and/or read it, then you can arrive at the conclusion of the "story".
