How Does Reading Affect My Writing

Every word written or read is a chance to better yourself or someone else. Our words carry an enormous significance with them. Even if a person doesn’t enjoy reading or writing, they can not deny that fact. I bring this up because reading and writing has shaped me into the person I am today. So it is no surprise that I am willing to rant about how great reading and writing can be.

Writing Is a kind of typing symbols, letters and other writing tools to help the writer communicate with the reader or connect his ideas. It is the fourth skill in language skills and the most one that needs creation and imagination. In this essay, I am going to write about the importance of developing writing.

If I could describe my relationship with reading and writing it would most likely have to be, improving. Of course I would assume the same happens to all students that their reading and writing skills improve as they continue with their education. For me reading has been a passion, so my reading skills are pretty advanced and I can say I am able to read well. In my case, being a child of two Hispanic parents, I do have a slight accent that can get in the way and make my reading a bit rough. Usually it is not so bad, only on certain words that either I do not know how to properly pronounce or certain letters that my accent acts as a physical barrier where I have to sound it out more carefully or work around my accent. While that is the #1 major setback I have during reading. Even with that setback I can still say that I am confident in my reading skills, reading at a well speed, improving, reading various books all that combined allows to be able to read almost anything. What I do enjoy about reading is that I see it being able to bring myself into that world that the author is writing about or to envision the story they’re telling as a movie. I like the idea of just sitting back or laying down with a good book for hours and getting deep into whatever I am reading. Personally once I pick up a good book it is usually hard for me to put it down without the paranoia of not knowing how it ends will eat me up and I usually finish a book within a few days.

For many people reading and writing are the most fundamental skills a person can learn, it can also greatly influence a persons cognitive thinking capacity and the sharing of information with others. However, in some parts of the world, people still do not have access to education or the ability to learn to read and write. Lacking the skill to read and write can make things tough for some one in todays society, however with the right resources and mentors to support, one can find a hidden passion for reading and writing. For me, reading and writing has never been one of my greatest skills, I had always struggled throughout my younger years of schooling to keep an interest. As of today, reading and writing has made a great impact on my life, especially in the last few years since I began college.

Reading and Writing Throughout my life reading and writing have impacted my life in many different ways. It has helped me express myself. Reading and writing have never been my strongest subjects; however, if I find a book that spikes my interest, I would never put it down. Those books are the ones that have impacted my life so much and how I think about life.

In my opinion, the reason for this assignment is for the teacher to see where we are in our reading, and writing. Reading to me must happen when I am interested in something for example, a movie because I enjoy reading about the plots but everyone is different. Another example is a graphic novel, because you can understand the concept or plot a lot easier than you would do in a regular novel. In regular books, you have so many things going on and you aren’t able to understand what is happening then you end up getting the wrong idea. Writing is just about the same for example, I can’t write about something that I know nothing about or interested in. Therefore, I am writing this paper to show you my weaknesses and not my strengths because I

There have been a few bad, but many good influences that have me lead to love reading the way I do. For a child to have a good foundation and have a better understanding of reading and writing I believe it should be introduced at an early age. I was lucky to have a family that read to me and helped me with reading from the time I was born. Unfortunately I spent a year struggling, and I remember to this day the hard time I had that also helped me become a better reader soon after.

Coming into UCWR 110, I never had a class that focused strictly on writing and techniques for writing different papers. Throughout the semester, the growth in developing main ideas, thesis, and analytical analysis has improved. From this class, the growth in writing has not only improved not only writing skills, but the reading involved in the class has presented itself in different mediums, as well as different genres and topics, all adding to a more holistic approach to rhetoric. So from here, I see us on a continuing path of perfecting the craft of writing and to implement the techniques learned in this class to other classes, and in the professional workplace one day.

I may surprise people with how literate I am verbally, that’s the teacher side of me coming out, but when it comes to reading and writing I am subpar. Studies show that if you begin reading to a child at a young age it increases literacy. But not all research is effective with all people, being read to as a child it didn’t help engage me in reading and writing.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a review of the literature regarding an historical perspective on reading instruction in schools, and the balanced literacy philosophy. This information provides a background from which to better understand how the balanced literature approach to reading instruction has come to exist, and the tasks that are part of this philosophy for the teacher. Then, more specific information is examined from the Crowley Independent School District regarding how the balanced literacy framework is implemented within that district. In addition, various curriculum documents are discussed in order to better understand how the CISD implements its balanced literacy program. Furthermore, the professional development and support for the reading initiative that occurs at the district and campus levels is discussed, along with the leadership that is provided within the schools to help teachers successfully carry out the balanced literacy program.

I love to read, but it didn't start out that way. When I was in first grade and we are just starting to learn how to read books, I remember being mad because I wasn't in the advanced reading group. The advanced reading group got a different book than everyone in the normal reading level and got to work in a different section of the room. This made me so mad that I decided I didn't want to try which, when I look back on it now was not the smartest thing I could've done. I knew how to read but it never really appealed to me, especially since I wasn't the most proficient reader. And why would I want to read a book when I could play with a Bratz doll?

One question I always asked myself was how I got attracted to reading and writing. Having thought about it, I felt it was simple. As a young kid, I was excited about books even before I could read and write . I always had a giddy feeling coursing through me whenever I sighted a new book. Trying to uncover what mystery was hidden between the covers of the books was my main goal. Like a little Indiana Jones(but without a fashionable hat), it was time for a new adventure— an addictive one. I looked forward to finding the secrets portrayed with images and colorful pictures I barely understood . Accompanied with these pictures were tiny funky looking things that ran horizontally across the pages of the books . I didn’t understand them and felt defeated whenever I opened a book and found only these ant-like things. I disliked them. Eventually, due to reading and writing, I would be granted a means of exploration and self-expression. I did not only find my creative side, but I also discovered who I am through these ants.

Reading and writing are two of the most important tools in my life, because without them I would not have an education. They form the basis of a class; for example, completing a lab in chemistry would not be possible without following a written lab procedure. These two skills are taught at such a young age, and as education advances students must continue to strive to reach a higher level. I can remember in elementary school, we were always pushed to reach the next reading level once we had successfully mastered the one we were on. It was always a competition for my sister and I to be at a higher level, I usually won. Even though I was excelling in reading it was the complete opposite for writing. It is something that has never come easy

Are reading and writing connected? Reading and writing have always been strong elements, in our lives, studies have shown that reading affects writing and vise-versa. Stephen King said, “If you could put together a model car or assemble a piece of furniture from directions you could write a sentence”. He states the importance of two powerful elements, reading and writing, and by putting them together we could make something out of them. I can come to terms with the fact that reading and writing are the key elects to many opportunities although it has not always been easy to convey. Reading and writing together are both the path to improving our vocabulary and expanding of our knowledge, even though certain people will argue differently, and say that only one (reading or writing) of them is the key element.

This year, I have faced a lot of challenges with writing and reading that I never really thought could happen.The readings and writing that I have done from this assignment are similar to the readings and writings I have done in the past. In the past my teachers always made sure that I ,as an student, understood how to go more in depth with my writing and how to consider the reader as I was writing. They also taught me how to analyze and how to explain and support the realization I made. The difference between the writings and reading I have done now and the ones I have did in the past is that I was taught how to think rhetorically and how I could use different rhetorical devices by writing. You have to really consider the individual , your audience and cultural things too.I have definitely improved on the width of my paragraphs and how to use a hook to get the reader's attention.Some set goals that I have set for myself and my future of writing is improving on my ability to compose in multiple environments, my knowledge of convention and my metacognition.  I would like to improve on  my ability to compose in multiple environments because I kind of favor writing with pen and paper more than I do of typing my work up. I would like to get comfortable with typing so that if it's mandatory to type I would be able to do it effectively. I would like to improve on my knowledge of convention because I would like to spot out most of my errors and correct them in the process of my
