Reading is an extraordinary way to effortlessly improve vocabulary, grammar, and overall knowledge of history, current events, etc. Similarly, I've worked with so many students who think they just aren't good at writing, or they hate writing. Sometimes this is because they see themselves as "math thinkers" and sometimes it's because they've suffered through too many writing assignments without enough guidance. I...
