How does reading help you become a good writer?

Answer 1

Reading helps you in several ways:

• You see how other authors make writing work
• You see different ways of communicating (like literary devices and similes and such)
• You see ways you could do the same thing
• Reading's just plain fun

Answer 2

Reading helps expand your vocabulary, exposes you to different writing styles and techniques, and enhances your understanding of sentence structure and grammar. It also sparks creativity and gives you examples to draw inspiration from when crafting your own writing.

Answer 3

The more you read, the more ways of writing you'll see. Different techniques, inspiration, and it'll help you improve your grammar, too, reading another author's way of arranging a sentence.
