Daily READING and WRITING are vital for academic success since it enhances language development, comprehension skills, critical thinking abilities, knowledge acquisition, communication skills, and promotes a critical examination of information. By incorporating the strategies covered in this course into their routine, learners can unlock their full potential, excel academically, and develop valuable skills that extend beyond the classroom. _______________________________________________________ HOW READING DAILY AND WRITING ABOUT YOUR READING IMPACTS YOUR LEARNING LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT | Regular reading exposes learners to a wide range of vocabulary, sentence structures, and writing styles. This exposure helps expand their language skills, enabling them to communicate effectively and articulate their thoughts with clarity. COMPREHENSION SKILLS | Reading regularly improves reading comprehension, as learners encounter diverse texts and practice extracting meaning from them. It enhances their ability to understand complex ideas, interpret information, and draw inferences, which are crucial skills across all subjects. CRITICAL THINKING | Engaging with different texts stimulates critical thinking skills. Reading prompts to analyze, evaluate, and interpret information, fosters a deeper understanding of concepts and encourages independent thought. Writing about it, on the other hand, allows learners to express their thoughts, develop arguments, and support ideas with evidence, further strengthening their critical thinking abilities. KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION | Reading exposes learners to a wealth of information and broadens their knowledge base. It introduces them to various subjects, cultures, and perspectives, fostering a well-rounded understanding of the world. Additionally, writing helps learners consolidate their learning, as the process of organizing and articulating their thoughts deepens their understanding and retention of the material. COMMUNICATION SKILLS | Proficient reading and writing skills are essential for effective communication in academic and professional settings. They enable learners to express their ideas clearly, present arguments persuasively, and engage in thoughtful discussions, all of which are vital skills for success in higher education and future careers. CRITICAL EXAMINATION | Reading and writing encourage learners to question, analyze, and critically examine information. They learn to evaluate the credibility of sources, identify bias, and develop their own informed opinions. These skills empower learners to become discerning and informed learners who actively engage with academic content. _______________________________________________________ THE STORIES BY RAY LeCARA JR o Novel Excerpt: "Future Destiny," (2022) Book 1 of the Torn Timeline Series Summary: Drawn into a conflict that is not their own three hundred years into the future, a group of teens become unlikely allies to survive.
