"When children are very young they begin with experience stories, like the kindergarten teachers will often have an experience like a field trip or something and then the boys and girls will tell about it, then they will see it in writing, then they think they can read it. They begin with very abstract spelling situations, and then, as they get older, they must remember that there's such things as grammar and correct sentence structure, and that sort of thing, so you become immersed in language, both with the reading and the writing, because in order to become a good writer you need to be a reader, and guess what -- we can't read unless somebody already has done some writing, so it is a cyclical thing, and it's something that, as much as possible, children need to be encouraged, and if they're adults, they also need to understand that there are no exact right and wrong ways; that if they read a lot they can tell that there's very many different styles and different voices that people come from as they do their writing, so that's something that I think they need to set out as an experience thing, and then work on the actual proper styles."
