Some children wish to be writers when they grow up. That 1 that they want to write stories or books. They would be happy if many people read their stories or books some day, but I would like 2 these children that they will need to be good readers and read a lot before they become good writers.

    Nearly all great writers often listened 3 others tell stories long before they started school. They also 4 on reading for hours and hours for years. Even when they had become writers, they spent much of their time 5 books instead of watching TV in the evening.

    If you are a good reader, it won't take you long 6 the reading homework your teacher asks you to do. Then you will have time to read 7 books for fun. You will read so 8 that you will always want to look for more books to read.

    If you want to be a writer, reading is very 9. When you decide to become a writer, you had better tell 10, "I must read more and more if I really want to become a good writer."
