Reading and Writing Strategies

Mastering the Art of Reading and Writing

Reading and writing in Spanish opens the door to stories, news, and information from across the world.

Reading: Understanding the Message

You’ll read a variety of texts, from articles and emails to literature. Practice identifying main ideas, details, and the tone of the text. Skim for general meaning, then scan for specifics.

Writing: Express Yourself Clearly

Writing tasks include emails, essays, and short responses. Organize your ideas, use connectors like además (furthermore) or sin embargo (however), and check your spelling and grammar.

Why It Matters

Strong reading and writing skills are valuable for school, travel, and future careers that require written communication.

Examples

  • Writing an email to request information about a summer program in Spain.

  • Reading a news article and answering comprehension questions.
