**WRITING: The forgotten part of literacy**
Donal Graves, a well-known author on writing states: Good readers MAY be good writers, BUT Good Writers will ALWAYS be good readers!

Why? Because in the process of writing, one needs to slow down, be able to pick out important ideas and details, think about the importance of sequencing these ideas, and express their ideas so others can understand their thoughts.
