NCDPI Reading EOG

In school, we do a lot of reading and writing. Both are very important. Reading is important because it helps us to learn. Books are filled with many facts and ideas. We can read about many different people, places, and things. Writing is important because it is a way to share what we know with others. We can write about things we have learned, or we can write stories. Without writing, there would be nothing to read.
