Writing isn’t just for expression; it builds understanding.

When students write about what they read, they remember more, think more clearly, and understand more deeply.

But this only works with intentional instruction. Reading and writing should grow together. ✍️📖

Vocabulary isn’t just a skill, it’s knowledge.

The more words students know, the more ideas they can access and understand. But too often, vocab is taught vaguely or passively.

Comprehension grows word by word… on purpose. 📚💬

Reading isn’t a generic skill.

The more background knowledge students bring to a text, the more they can make sense of it, remember it, and think deeply about it. Knowledge builds on knowledge. 🧠🌍
