| Set a goal to read one book a year, a month, every six months—what- ever is easy for you. Pick a book on a topic that interests you. Set a time to read regularly. Select a comfortable space to read. | Make connections with your own experiences. Look up the meaning of words you do not know and write them down. Reread sections if you need to understand the context of the story. | Share some or all the story with someone else. Try to use the words and definitions you wrote down in your own communications. You finished the book. Claim your bragging rights! |
| RESULT: Repeat these activities to become a better writer and speaker. |
