【推荐3】When educators think of literacy — the ability to read and write — they often place more importance on a student’s ability to read and fully comprehend a piece of writing. But experts say critical and creative writing skills are equally important. And, they are too often _________ in the classroom.

Compared to reading, writing is more _________. It helps students be independent thinkers, take _________ of their stories and ideas and communicate them clearly to others. Unless we want an education system just focused on making people _________ and not focused on helping them to be producers, this _________ on reading only — which does happen in so many places — is very short-sighted.

Students’ writing work now usually _________ on examining a text, instead of presenting a new idea. Writing should be the central thing you’re learning, rather than writing in response to a text on a test or writing to demonstrate you’ve learned what someone has taught you.

Writing improves reading skills

Teaching reading together with writing improves both skills, says Rebecca Wallace-Segall, who _________ a New York City writing center, Writopia Lab. She said writing affects a person’s ability to read. More than 90 percent of young people in the Writopia program do not _________ their writing abilities when they start, Wallace-Segall said. But she said they learn to enjoy the writing process and become more effective _________, too.

Employers today seek workers all the time who can write well. Digital tools __________ mean that people are interacting with the internet through writing. Young people are __________ writing all the time — through text messages, emails and on social media. Every young person today is a writer if they are connected to the internet.

Working through __________ by writing

Supporters of writing-centered teaching add that writing __________ young people. When students own their __________ and tell their stories, they become not only stronger and more confident writers, but also stronger and more confident individuals.

Writing also helps students work through difficulties they face in life. They’re not writing a story about a difficult father or directly about a bully in class, but they are creating a __________ scenario that might feel distant enough for them to explore some of these problems at a deeper level. Thus, teaching students to write well can have an effect on the larger world. Those adults can see that the stories they’re telling themselves about those young people are often wrong and doing a lot of harm in the world.
