Whoopty Do, what does it all mean Basil?


Defining reading and writing:

When I thought about defining what reading and writing was, I decided that it would be logical to start with defining writing.

Writing is a way to communicate an idea, history, or any kind of thought that needs to be passed along. It allows the thought to be passed down word for word without it being transformed. For example, Native Americans would pass down stories. But, over time, the stories would begin to lose bits and pieces. So writing is more reliable than the word of mouth.

Reading is also a way of communication. Reading can be in a group or individual setting. It is a way of allowing others to think about new concepts or could be purely for entertainment.
Reading and writing are both skills that are taught and is a way of communication.
