Reading and Writing

Rory C. Keel

A few things that can help you become a better writer and reader.

1. Practice – Writing makes you a better writer and reading makes you a better reader.
2. Read, think, read, write, ponder, write – and read some more.
3. Learn a new word everyday.
4. Read lots of books.
5. Write. And then write some more.
6. Get the pen and fingers moving, or use a computer.
7. Read what you have written aloud to anyone who will listen – including the cat.
8. Keep a journal to keep the writing juices flowing.
9. Read what you’ve written over and over, until you can’t find any more problems.
10. Before you take a trip, read any information you can find and then write about your experience.
