Reading and writing connection

Teaching reading and writing is not an easy process, but like I said it is a process and it does take time. I think that reading and writing go hand in hand. It is impossible to teach one without the other. Students who read more become more familiarized with good vocabulary and good writing and so tend to write better. As an adolescent I used to barely read books and that had a negative effect on my writing. I always had a hard time writing and making my writing a good writing.

Teachers have to find a way to motivate the students. Maybe instead of asking them to read a certain book, allow them to choose a book of their interest, because that will motivate into reading it. Also if the students are not a fan of books they can read a magazine or other types of texts. Another option would be to allow the students to choose the topic in which they will write about. Sometimes when a topic is provided the student might not connect to the topic and end up not writing well about it.
