Practical Applications

Communication through Reading and Writing

Connecting Ideas and Sharing Knowledge

Reading and writing go hand in hand. When you read, you gather ideas; when you write, you share them. Practicing both helps you express yourself and understand others better.

How Reading Improves Writing

  • Reading introduces you to new words and styles.
  • You learn how authors organize their thoughts.
  • It inspires your own creative writing.

Why This Matters

Strong communication skills help you with essays, emails, and even texts to friends or teachers!

Examples

  • Writing a book review to recommend a story to classmates.

  • Composing a thoughtful email after reading a teacher’s instructions.
