Why is it important for students to read and write every day?
There is a deep connection between reading and writing. When students are exposed to various styles of writing, they begin to understand the intentionality in how and why author's write. Increased comprehension occurs when students understand an author's purpose and motivation. I believe that, once students begin to see this connection, higher levels of thinking will be obtained. In turn, students become more motivated to read and write. As a result, learning takes place and value is placed on the experience.
