In reading Chapter 3 in the text I have learned a lot about the Language Arts Standards. I've learned that reading and writing are so closely related at you really can't do one without doing the other. Although, as you get older you read and write without really ever thinking about it. For students and adults learning from reading and writing is an on going process.
Students learn that any given text can be understood in a verity of ways, depending on the context.
This statement is so true for the fact that everybody gets something different out of what they read. By reading a verity of text students become more proficient and knowledgeable but for a student to get something out of the text they are reading it needs to be of interest to them. Teachers need to provide a wide range of books for students to choose from. By children reading they develop a strong ability to communicate, write, and comprehend the things going on around them. For example, you are going to France this summer and you know nothing about the country so you may get a book to tell you about the sites to see, the language they speak, and there customs.
