Communicating Effectively with Text

Reading and Responding

Good readers make good communicators! When you read texts carefully, you can respond thoughtfully, whether you're writing an email, joining a debate, or posting online.

  • Understand the main point before replying.
  • Use evidence from the text to support your response.
  • Recognize the tone to respond appropriately.

Why It Matters

Effective communication helps you collaborate, resolve conflicts, and express your ideas clearly.

Examples

  • Citing a specific statement in a group chat to clarify a misunderstanding.

  • Replying to a teacher's email by addressing all points made in their message.
