The Importance Of Reading And Writing

Reading and writing has never come very easy to me. There have been a lot of factors that hinder me from being able to read and write well. English has always been my least favorite class during elementary school throughout high school and it still is now in college. I can count the number of books that I’ve actually been able to completely finish reading on one hands. In school, whenever we were assigned to read however many chapters of a book at night, I would just look up the spark notes for that chapter because I have such a hard time reading. By the way, reading the spark notes does not work as a substitute for reading the book instead.

There are many important skills that students must learn in school. One important skill would be how to read and write and the other would be how to think critically. These two skills are very important in different ways. However, they are both important skills that will help individuals throughout different times in their lives. The skill of reading and writing can open a door into a new world, a world filled with words. Critical thinking can help with having to make life changing decisions or it can help find a solution to a difficult issue. The skills reading and writing and critical thinking are all important skills in their own way, and they are both important during many aspects of life.

If you couldn’t read or write, how would you tackle your daily life? Being literate is a crucial part of everyone’s life; reading and writing are essential for a person’s success. Every single day, it’s used, whether it’s for an Advanced Placement Language class or reading a billboard as you’re driving past. As a child, I grew up reading on a daily basis and I believe that I am as successful as I am on behalf of it. Countless memories have been created, thanks to the multiple books that have been read and the umpteen amount of papers that I’ve written. Throughout the numerous years of my education, my teachers and parents left a long lasting impact on my reading and writing skills.

Growing up with my parents, I found reading to be very fun but for religious purposes and newspaper about the incidents taking place in certain countries. Through my parents, reading started to seem like it can be beneficial if we want to know what is going on in the world and the rules and regulations of one’s religion. Although I was required to read many books for school, my parents reading habits made me feel as if I should copy them. My mom and dad would always read books or newspapers at a certain time and sometimes discuss it with each other. My parents occasionally told me that I should leave aside school books at times and read the books they do because I can learn a lot and discover many things I did not realize before and

Learning how to read and write was a challenging task for me as a kid. I believe I couldn’t read until the second grade and that was embarrassing. Being a slow learner made me insecure, which hindered me from building the confidence I needed to succeed and get pass identifying with having a disability. Instead, I was enrolled into a special ed class that I had to leave my regular class to attend. During my special ed class all I could think about was how I couldn’t wait to get back to my regular class so I didn’t have to tell any of my classmate where I was. Therefore, my focus unfortunately wasn’t on learning, like it should have been!

I’ve always loved to write. Something about creating a new world that people could just get lost in is so fulfilling. I’d find whoever I could to read my work and praise me. It’s baffling thinking that stories and pieces of writing are all just words. Words put together with capitalization, punctuation, and style. The kicker is how those words are put together though. Words put together poorly can be incomprehensible. But, words put together just right can spark interest, thought, and amazement. When I recognize a great book or even a great sentence, I appreciate how well it is put together and soak up as much knowledge as possible to better my own writing.

When I was younger I started learning how to read and write. My mom started to help me read and write because it was important that school was my main focus. Even though I was very young I stayed consistent on reading and writing. Most parents start early with their kids on learning getting ready for school. At first, I didn’t like it because all I use to do was sit up and play the game. I didn’t want to do anything else until my mom brought a book in my room and told me to start reading. I looked at the book funny because I didn’t know what to do with it, so my mom sat with me and started to teach me how to read. When you read a lot, your writing comes easy because you’ll have loads of comprehension and know how to spell words. My mom has played a big role in my life when it came down to school. She stayed on top of me when it came down to my school work because she wanted me to be someone in life. With her teaching, me how to read and write early it wasn’t easy because sometimes I use to get frustrated and say that “I hate reading and writing”. When I started school my goals to bring my mom home A’s and B’s on my report card. When it came down to my work I was always focus. When I first started school, I knew a lot because I started reading and writing early.

Over the years I have become very familiar with writing long papers, reading books and articles, and researching different topics. I can remember not knowing where to even start writing a paragraph in third grade to not knowing where to start writing a one-page paper in middle school. I finally got to high school and two to three-page essays was all I knew. In elementary I was already reading chapter books, and writing summaries for submission. By high school I was reading two books at a time. The only thing that was new to me beginning high school was research.

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

IT is traditionally around first grade when children are taught to read in school. Some children catch on before this with the help of parents, and others are slower to read at expected levels and speeds. I can say without hesitation that my mom sent me on the path to be a reader. My mom is an elementary school teacher and so she started to read to me at a very young age. I have memories of listening to her reading everything from Love You Forever to Little Woman and lots in between. I am fortunate that my mom read to me so much because I picked up reading before going into kindergarten, starting with Goodnight Moon. 1st grade. Taught to read. Had to read for class. Harry potter and the sorcerer's stone, would read on own time, with help from mom. Before this it had primarily been listening to people read to me, small picture books like goodnight moon.

Reading and writing are factors that show how educated you are, plain and simple. If you don’t know how to do either, you cannot survive. Knowing how to read and write has been used as early as 3500 BCE. It wasn’t displayed as a group of letters as seen today but, instead as pictures. It’s a form of communication that all of us use whether it be through text, email, letters etc.

Reading and writing are a big part of our life, it doesn’t matter if we just read the headline of the news, or the signs saying railroad crossing ahead or forms for work. Writing, on the other hand, is similar, people write daily without even realizing it, for example, writing for class, filling out a form at work, or just writing for pleasure, it is all part of our daily lives. Even though not realizing how big of a part reading and writing has played in my life I have slowly started to acknowledge the little reading and writing moment in my life.

Reading and writing are crucial elements every student needs to understand in order to become successful. Reading and writing are necessities for everyone, regardless of their profession. Personally, I understand math more than reading and writing; the straight-forward answers allow me to perceive the concept clearly. Despite the fact that I still receive an “A”, English is still a struggle for me. Although I find reading and writing necessary, these subjects are harder for me to understand when compared to the logicality and precision of math.

Even though every student learns and does things differently, we all have some type of goals for the year. Mine is to read and write more. I also want to add more description in my writing to help the reader feel like they are a part of the story. I would describe myself as a novice reader looking to become an avid reader. Whenever I do choose to read, I find it to be a great way to escape reality. I feel I am going to another place and time. I become invested in the characters and feel like I am a part of the story. Writing allows me to express my thoughts. I love to create a story line and help the readers to picture the scene. Reading and writing, to me, are great ways to express myself. To achieve my reading and writing goals, I will

Reading and writing are both important; you can’t have one without the other. They are skills that are increased constantly due to little things that most times are not noticed. Whether it is from a book to a poem, there will always be a way that it helps out your school performance. Reading and writing in general only helps absorb information, and enhance leisure or school related writing tasks. It has also made life itself so much easier because reading and writing are so beneficial for school and for life. How much you read and write today, will somehow affect your future job, family, position, or even your salary.
