Strategic Reading Day 5
Clear, effective communication is no simple task—it requires an understanding of phonology, orthography, syntax, semantics, and morphology. For many students, this complexity leads to playing possum when it’s time to plan, research, and write. As Maryanne Wolf describes in Proust and the Squid, the brain’s natural tendency to avoid effort can make writing a challenge.
