[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell - It's a rigorous emphasis in every class. [/quote] How do they teach writing?[/quote]The best writers are readers. You can't get around it. [/quote] It may be true that the best writers are readers, but it does not follow that all avid readers are good writers, which many on this thread appear to believe. This is the osmosis theory of good writing. Well, it simply doesn't work that way in many cases and more directed instruction is needed. The PP who has an avid reader who is a poor writer is getting lots of advice to model reading for her DC. This is pretty pointless in her case. [/quote]
