Writing

Composition pours thoughts into a shareable medium. In this case, the medium is words. Vocabulary, grammar, format, and voice all impact how well a passage can connect to its reader.

Spelling

• While many tools (namely autocorrect) exist to reduce spelling errors, knowing how to spell basic words can reduce distractions and improve efficiency for writing.
