Can reading make you a better writer?

[Nomad]

When you read, you will benefit in two ways (I am talking about writers), on, you will learn the craft, and two, you will learn the language. Craft and language both are essential skills

 

[Syldan]

Ofcourse reading can makes you a better writer even though it depends on how you read and understand.

Actually reading alot, can get you exposed to alot of peoples experiences and new word which can be used to communicate to the people.

Yes reading can definitely make you a better writer. When reading you are coming across various writers and their different writing styles, this would help you improve yours and find a better one for yourself.

Writing skills can be upgraded when you read experts' writings, this is one of the ways that you can learn from expert writers and it will help you alot through your career.

 

[Syldan]

Actually I believe reading can make you a better writer simply because the more you read, you developed your wordings and it pronunciation which will be used to communicate with your audience in a simple manner.

There's a difference between reading and writing , when you practising writing on a daily basis , you become a better writer , reading can only make you to know things you don't know before .

 

[Grant]

Of course. Reading is a big key to helping you learn writing. To be fair, we never stop learning to write. We tend to learn new phrases, and people tend to write differently over time.

So reading content from the past and present can broaden your language. as well, writing in a journal or diary helps too.

Reading different books can make someone a better writing because the way the person is reading you will be more exposed, that is why people said constant reading help alot.

It is oftenly said that a good reader is a good writer. By reading books of different authors you can learn new styles of writing and this can improve your grammar and the command of the English language as a whole.

To make reading a regular component of your writing practice and enhance your writing abilities, schedule reading time, find a comfortable reading setting, make it a priority, carry a book with you, and join a book club. This will enhance your writing abilities.

Yes, I strongly believe reading does improve your writing skills. You can learn new interesting words that you've never heard before, learn about different genres and writing styles, and in my opinion, if you want to start writing a book or something like that, you need to read them first. As for myself, I really like reading books, and sometimes I try to write them just for fun.

I had a brief stint working with online book club. I have to say that period has really helped to sharpen my writing today. Within the time I worked there, I read up to 100 books. That's one of the reasons I can really write.

I began reading from a very young age. I mean those days when other kids are out there playing, I will be in a corner reading a newspaper or a magazine and that was how I was able to improve my writing. If you are able to read more, you will see writing styles that you can use in creating lots of good contents too.

The good thing about reading is that you would be exposed to more knowledge and the more you know, is the more it helps become an authority in the subject that you have accumulated so much knowledge in. This will definitely make you a better writer in any field that you choose to write on.

 

[Riberet19]

I believe that reading more will undoubtedly make you a better writer, since you will acquire much more knowledge than if you do not and that you can translate it into your own writing, knowledge has been passed from generation to generation always in written form and many writers what they have done is revive that knowledge again in their own books and giving their own point of view, In addition, you will learn to express yourself better and improve your grammar and literary structure.

 

[Ja Sa Bong]

I believe that reading can make you more than just a better writer. Reading good books can make you a better person, empower you in so many ways, change how you think depending on what you read and mold your personality. There's power in the information written in books.

My cousin was just like that growing up, he had his head stuck in more books then being a kid. He was known as the nerd of the neighbourhood because there wasn't anything he's not aware of. This really helped him growing up because the knowledge he had as a kid made him more exposed than all his peer.

That's great, it is really difficult to see a child so eager to read so many books, surely he is a super intelligent and curious person and that now that he is older has been reflected in more aspects of his life, I also liked to read as a child, but surely I did not reach such a point.

I struggled to read as a child and I also struggled to read as an adult .. I'm just a block head who managed to pass his courses . It wasn't easy growing up in the midst of smart folks but I believe that I turned out fine. To read is fun if you enjoy doing it. At least, I love reading fictional books now.
