Crafting Writers Chap. 4 & 5

Personal experience has shown me that having a love for reading, or reading for enjoyment not just for school, improves writing. My sister is 8 years older than me and has loved reading since she began school. She began to love writing just as much and always said "it came easy to her." She actually went on to become a journalism major in college and writes for a living now, as well as having an entire library room in her house.

Then there is me.

I never read outside of school and still do not now. Writing is still something I 100% dread doing as well.

I do not feel like it necessarily affects how well one does in assessments and grades in school though.

All the specific crafts listed in the reading are great dealing with adding detail and punctuation. My only concern I had when reading it is when and how do you introduce these crafts in class? Is it best to only work with one or two crafts at a time or to let the students see many of them at once?
