Supercharge Your Vocabulary

Spelling, tone and grammatical mistakes can make you look careless.

• Don't rely on spell-checkers.
• Proofread your work.
• Use a dictionary to look up any words that you're unsure about. 
• Reading your work aloud makes it easier to catch typos and tone errors....

Reading fiction creates activity in the left temporal cortex region of the brain, which is associated with language.

Reading fiction helps build up our vocabulary, far more than reading non-fiction, as fictional books have a greater variety of words and phrases.

The more you read, the more words you will come across. The more often you read these words, the more likely you are to understand them, and use them in your own writing and speaking.
