What strategies can you use in your writing to keep readers interested?

In creative writing and compositional essay's, you must keep the readers attention. You can do so by practicing skills such as effective introductions, use of literary elements, and strengthening your voice as a writer. Building these skills are essential and with effort and some help you can master this skill successfully.

What is the importance of reading other's writing and why should we continue doing so?

We should always read others work because it helps us learn a lot different things. We can use the works as an example for our own writing. We can also use it as insight into history and the philosophies of other minds. When we continue to read literature we grow our knowledge in writing and in areas we may not expect to be interested in.

What are some strategies for building effective composition skills in writing and reading?

For improving your reading and writing composition you must develop your reading comprehension. The more that you read and analyze (even if you start with small and simple work) the more you will train your brain to understand and implement these skills in your own reading and writing. This is a progressive process meaning it will take some time to build and that is okay. Just like it is okay to need help with skill building.
