Abstract

Abstract: Writing like reading is a fundamental ability that conditions one’s success in school. Yet, it has been found that teaching writing has traditionally been one of the most troublesome and difficult areas in the curriculum. This difficulty exists in part because writing is a complex task. Writing is one of the most important ways to ensure that all students master the basicliteracy skill,allowing them freedom to express their own concerns and build upon their special interest. Reading experts convinced that full development of literacy skills can occur only when students do a lot of writing as well as a lot of reading. Student should reflect in this compositions as a part of themselves and that part need not always be holistically and completely formed. However, the composition must be able to convey the student’s thoughts in order to communicate. The students must be able to write not because they are compelled to, but because they themselves want to communicate with their readers. This attitude is a crucial issue towards a more genuine approach to composition writing. Keywords: writing, basic literacy skills, literary skills, complex task, composition, composition writing, reading.
