Extensive reading leads to the development of
language knowledge that supports better writing
abilities. This language knowledge includes:
Reading as it connects to writing
Vocabulary Knowledge
Verbal Fluency
Syntactic Knowledge
Semantic Memory
Metalinguistic Awareness
(Grabe, 2004; Wagner & Stanovich, 1996)
(awareness of structure)
(memory of meanings/facts)
(ability to see language as a process & as a thing)

Writing as it connects to reading
Phonemic Awareness develops as children
make associations between the sounds of
words and what they write on the page.
Phonic skills are reinforced when children
write the words they read.
Writers read their own material like readers
as they reconsider the material and how it
communicates..(Brummitt-Yale, 2005)

ELL’s can benefit from English literacy instruction
well before they have developed full control of
the language orally.
(Urzua, 1987)
English reading and writing development
processes are essentially similar for both ELL’s
and native English speakers. (Urzua, 1987)
There needs to be high standards…
