Skilled readers use what they read as a “mentor-text” for writing styles. Students who read naturally mimic their favorite author’s style of writing. They incorporate the author’s word choice, voice, connections as part of their writing.
Keeping a special notebook or even sticky notes handy is an excellent way to record your thoughts especially while reading. Reading opens the door that allows for better writing style, vocabulary development, fluency, and better understanding that writing does provide opportunities of expansion of expressing thoughts and writing.
