Reading and writing skills

Reading can be a good starting point for writing. Students can often read and understand texts that are more complicated than the texts they can write. Give learners the opportunity to read a range of texts that are written for different purposes. Talk with the class about the writer's reasons for writing and about the vocabulary and grammar of a particular text. This will give learners a good foundation on which to build their own writing ability.Encourage learners to think about their own reading and writing priorities and their strengths and weaknesses.Encourage learners to read graded readers and write brief reviews on them when they are through reading them, always tell students to read everthing that catches their interest; they will improve their knowledge and ability to writing well when they read magazines, their favorite novels and others educated materials.


2.Writing is a productive skill and can therefore be more challenging, so it often follows on from reading. Frequently, when learners are more ambitious and try to write more complex language, the number of errors increases. Because of this always keep in mind the purpose of the exercise you are doing with your group. If you want them to take risks and try to be ambitious with their language and ideas, focus on the things they get right. If you pick out the mistakes they have made, it might be demotivating and prevent them from taking risks in the future.

Set up your high school students for writing success at the beginning of a new school year by providing a variety of writing assignments that focus on their experience being a teenager! they should also write how they spend thier holiday, this will encourage them to boost their writing skills.enourage students to boost their confidence by writing about what they know through personal experience. This shows students how to break down and organize the memorywriting process.

Magazines tend to have appeal for all students and have many advantages for struggling readers because of their interesting and current topics, large number of graphics, short articles, and "adult" look. There are some contemporary poets out there whose poems have mass kid appeal. And because poems, like magazine articles, are short, they are instantly gratifying and provide an immediate sense of accomplishment for all readers
