In my storybook, reading and writing are both worthy...

Writers are readers; and readers are writers. Simple as that. Whether you are writing for professional reasons or personal pleasure, it is all worth-while. I say that writers are readers because in order to write, you must know how to read. For example, while I am writing this blog post, I am carefully reading over what I am writing to ensure that it is grammatically correct and pleasant to the ear.

Reading and Writing share many stages that are similar to the eye. Readers organize their thoughts, generate ideas, explore the text, and revise; as well as writers. When readers respond to the text that they are reading, they become writers. They have to generate their thoughts and opinions on paper for others to view.

Writing is also worth reading because it allows you to share your insights on different ideas. Whether you enjoy reading to yourself or sharing with others, reading is a great way to reflect on thoughts and ideas. Sometimes you may see comparisons in your writing with someone else's; or you may learn to appreciate the differences you share. Writing also sparks discussions and dialogue between individuals. It is a great learning tool as well as a social tool.
