Volume 1
Writing and the Importance of Reading
April 1, 2005
===============================================
Hello: This is the 1st issue of Aaron Writes, the writer's newsletter of Aaron
Language Services (http://www.aaronlanguage.com). We issue Aaron
Writes monthly. Each issue examines a writing topic. This month's topic is the
importance of reading. Each issue also includes trivia questions about
writing and writers. The questions and answers are scattered throughout the
entire issue. We hope you find Aaron Writes both interesting and helpful.
Aaron Writes is also available to answer reader questions. If you have
questions about writing, please -- in English -- email director@aaronlanguage.com.
We will answer your question in a future issue of Aaron Writes. Please let us
know how you would like to sign your question. We can use your name as you
give it to us, or you can simply write your initials and city or prefecture. Please
understand that we reserve the right to edit your English before publishing
your question.
----------------------- THE IMPORTANCE OF READING -----------------------
Traditionally, writing classes have focused on a variety of topics connected to the art and craft of writing. Some classes have concentrated more on grammar,
and others, newer classes, on process writing and writing as a method of
discovery. Some classes have used writing exercises, while others practiced an unstructured writing style to include freewriting. Some classes have
focused on writing clearly, while others have
been less concerned with clarity and more concerned with self-expression.
Aaron Writes will examine topics that have been traditionally studied in writing classes to include process writing, writing as discovery, freewriting, image clarity with adjectives, genre, style, voice, and dialogue in future issues. However, our first issue will examine one of the least explored aspects of writing classes: reading.
Reading is important for improving your writing. This is true for both native
and nonnative speakers. Reading provides examples of writing. The
more we read, the more examples we have. Some of the examples we
remember consciously, but most we do not remember consciously. The
examples remain somewhere in our unconscious. When we write, we rely upon
such examples to create our own writing.
Grammar is important for writing. One significant approach to improving
grammar is to read. This is true for both native and nonnative speakers.
Reading provides us with examples of grammar. The more we read, the more
examples we have. Some of these examples we remember consciously. Most
of them we do not remember consciously. These examples remain somewhere in
our unconscious. When we write, we rely upon such examples to create
correct grammar in our own writing.
Did the above paragraph look familiar to you? Of course it did. It was a rewrite
of the paragraph about why reading is important for improving writing. We
could do the same again for vocabulary.
Reading is important for improving your vocabulary. This is true for both
native and nonnative speakers. Reading provides us with new vocabulary and
reinforces the vocabulary that we know. The more we read, the better our
vocabulary is. Some of the new vocabulary we remember consciously, and we use
it when we write. Some of it we do not remember consciously. This
vocabulary knowledge is somewhere in our unconscious. We use our
conscious vocabulary knowledge when we write. After we see a word enough
times, it moves from our unconscious to our conscious. We access
our unconscious knowledge when we use a thesaurus or a dictionary.
Reading is important for improving your writing. This brings the next question,
what should you read? First, you should read what you enjoy reading. Second,
you should seek out good writing. Defining good reading is an excellent discussion topic. In a future issue of Aaron Writes, we will return to answer the question about what is and is not good writing. Third, you should read writing in the area
that you want to write in. Last, you should also read in other areas to
gain knowledge and understanding that you may not find when reading in your main area of interest.
Read, read often, and read much. This will help to make you a better writer.
The more you can read, the better.

----------------------- Our Writing Program -----------------------
Aaron Language Services is now working online to help writers improve their
writing skills. If your goal is to improve your writing for work or pleasure --
business, academic, or creative -- please contact Aaron Language Services
for information about the Aaron writing program.
Writing is speaking to the eyes rather than the ears. We know when we
express our thoughts well in English because people are more likely to
respond positively. They are more likely to listen to us. If you think others see your words, but
your ideas are sometimes not clear enough, you might consider our Short
Four/Five Paper Course, one of our ten-week Aaron writing modules.
Every other week for eight weeks, you will write a short paper. Your Aaron coach will read
your writing. After the Aaron reading, you and your coach will have an online
dialogue about your writing. Your coach will correct grammar problems. More
importantly though, your coach will make suggestions for writing improvements:
going deeper into the writing, expressing yourself better, using key words
that convey your meaning, sounding more natural in English. For the finale --
the ninth week, you will choose the short paper that you like best and turn it
into a longer paper. Naturally, guidance in proofreading and editing your own
writing is a key component in our writing program.
Aaron offers a variety of writing modules and ongoing courses. If you
would like to discuss the possibility of an individualized writing program,
please email director@aaronlanguage.com.
