THE IMPACT OF READING ON WRITING SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Writing and reading are two sides of the same coin, primarily important for a person's language development. While writing allows a person to express his thoughts, ideas, and emotions, reading ensures that writing skills are developed first. Reading has a huge impact on writing because it can help develop language patterns, vocabulary, and grammatical accuracy through well-written texts. Reading also helps a writer understand coherence, sentence construction, and composition, which greatly improves the quality of writing. One of the main ways reading helps to develop writing skills is through vocabulary enrichment. People encounter new terms in a variety of circumstances when they read books. It is more sensible to employ these words in their writing given this context. People can choose the appropriate context for meaning, tone, and expression with the help of this understanding. Additionally, writers can identify and learn from various writing styles by reading fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and even scholarly literature. This helps them develop their own writing voice. Reading improves grammar and sentence structure in addition to vocabulary. Children can build strong writing frameworks and strategies through regular exposure to well-written literature.
