Reading and writing go hand-in-hand. Generally speaking, proficient students don’t read without writing, and don’t write without reading. The two processes although not the same are intertwined and in many ways dependent on the other.

For this discussion, take time to consider how you feel about writing, what kind of writing do you do, and how you approach academic writing assignments.
