"Reading is something most of us take for granted."

Why are there two verbs "is" and "take" in the sentence?

Thanks.

Hello Elinor

Reading is something (that) most of us take for granted.

Consider two sentences.
Reading is something.
Most of us take 'that' (=something) for granted.
Combine them
Reading is something + most of us take 'that' for granted.
Since something='that', get them close
Reading is something 'that' most of us [....] for granted.
