Learning Journal #10

[Jenny Faust]

One of the biggest goals I had this semester was to improve on my reading and writing skills. Especially with writing, I have done very little to no writing since I was 9, making it very difficult to write anything without a lot of spelling and grammatical errors. This semester, I definitely worked on improving that skill by practicing writing simple paragraphs and having my learning partner correct it. For reading, it was something I also struggled with, especially if it included more complicated vocabulary. It was also difficult for me to read out loud without stumbling. This semester, I worked to improve my skills by practicing reading out loud, as well as reading more news articles. While doing these exercises have definitely improved my skills, I definitely think that I still have more work to do before I get to my ultimate goals.
