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!

When I was a little girl I treasured reading. One of my favorite books to read over and over again was Where the Wild Things Are written by Maurice Sendak. As I got older I lost interest in reading for

Throughout my life, I have remembered times where someone has read to me or I have read a book that has impacted me. From the time when I was three and my mother would read to me, to today. When I was in kindergarten, I didn’t like to read. I believed that reading was unexciting and that it was a waste of time. Most of the time, I would watch television when I came home from school. Since I didn’t like to read and would never practice reading, I had to acquire help from one of the teachers who would take me out of the regular reading class and she would teach me how to read at my pace. Even though I believed that reading was unexciting, I love to read now.

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

Throughout my childhood I loved to read and write so when my teachers would mention writing assignments I would get excited because I had the mentality of always writing something new and interesting. During elementary school I was a smart straight A student and my teachers loved me because they were amazed of my reading and writing skills. And the reason to always being on top of my reading and writing skills was because of my parents they had always influenced me to push myself and exceed. They wanted me to pursue the goals I had because they saw my passion for reading books and for school.

Reading and writing is easy for us. We do it everyday. People read billboards driving down the street and we are constantly typing messages to companions on cell phones without giving it a second thought. This idea holds even more true in a college environment. Throughout schooling, students have developed and greatly improved their literacy skills and abilities. Even non-students are often on their phones, reading passages through social media or possibly writing a text to a friend. Language is all around us. Although literacy is all too familiar to the college student, there was a time when even the most intelligent human beings were unable to speak and or write. I personally can recall spelling my name for the first time on the kitchen table. I used my green crayola marker to draw three massive crooked letters.. B, E, N. I was proud of my work and my parents were excited. This was one of my first milestones in my literary journey, however I do not believe it to be the most significant.

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.

Everybody has a fond memory of laying around with their parents one evening reading a book out loud, but why is it that as we grow up our love of reading slowly disappears. This made me wonder, what about schools reading and writing programs makes students dislike the subjects so much? Many people believe majority of students start to grow an exponential disliking for reading and writing once it starts being routinely assigned. Once a student enters junior high reading and writing are no longer something people want to call a hobby, although it is not in vast amounts this is where schools start making a dent on students’ enjoyment of the subjects. Now in high school this is where they start the “preparing us for college” idea as they hand students an excessive amount of papers to read and analyze, all while trying to write multiple essays. Schools ruins students’ enjoyment for reading and writing because there is no freedom, classes are all about test preparation and the homework load is too much.

The average, uneducated person believes that being a good reader and writer do not correlate, but through many experiments and research, scholars have come to the conclusion that in order to become a good writer, first good reading technique is needed. This skill can be very challenging to master. A good reader must not only be educated but also must obtain a sense of position in the world. Understanding what’s going on around them and to express empathy and in depth emotion while reading. Good reading and writing skills derive from reading indulgently in many different genres and reading analytically; then those skills gathered to mimic authors’ styles and to create a unique way of writing.

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.

Growing up with my parents, I found reading be very entertaining especially when I read about religion and newspaper about incidents taking place in certain countries. Through my parents reading routines, it started to seem like reading be beneficial in improving one’s understanding of religion such as the rules and regulations compulsory in a religion. Although I was required to read many books for school, my parents reading habits made me feel as if I should imitate them. In my childhood, I have seen my parents 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 try reading the books they do. I was told there is abundant information on Islam I have not discovered yet and by reading the books my mom and dad read, I may realize so much more and my understanding can lead me to be thankful for certain purposes. These words had gotten sealed in my head which directed me to read the passages they do.
