4. Real vs. Fake Reading Poster.docx

READING and WRITING:

Reading is like anything you want to be good at, it takes practice. Read at home at least 20 minutes or more each evening at home. You do have time for it. I promise you do.

How do you become an effective writer? Write! Make lists at home, journal, keep a diary, keep a list of big ideas you might want to write about. There's a writer in you!
