Here's the latest article from the Reading site at BellaOnline.com.

Greetings from the Land of OZ!

I am through with my basic editor training for the Reading Site. The Site Review went well. To celebrate, I am doing two things this week. You will have two articles. One is out today, and the other will be featured tomorrow. I have included links to both articles in this one newsletter. I don't want to clutter your emails with 2 newsletters in a week.

The other thing that I did was add an Amazon link to a helpful book. I used to add links a lot, but I honestly got tired of messing with them. However, with reading, I think that there is a good reason for adding them, so I will put them in. There will be times when I recommend an item related to my article and add an Amazon link, so that you can check it out. I am an Amazon Associate, and when you purchase an item after clicking on my link, I do make a commission for purchases made through that link.

Reading Develops Writing Skills Naturally
I failed my diagnostic grammar test in college, and the teacher didn't want me in her Comp 1 class. How could I write and not know grammar beyond nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs? The answer is that I am a reader who reads at least a book a week. Why does that matter when it comes to writing?
