WRITING

Learning to write fluently and express yourself accurately and succinctly is an invaluable life skill that is worth developing and refining. Correct punctuation and sentence construction ensure that messages that are written to an intended audience are understood without ambiguity and with clarity. Meaning is enhanced when precise vocabulary is used that is an accurate reflection of a message that is written with purpose and intent. Expanded vocabulary can include idiomatic and figurative expressions that reflect the context in which the message is written and received.
