Courses in rhetoric, linguistics, and advanced writing are also necessary, but the major emphasis should be on literature study for these reasons: (1) good reading experience is the best preparation for being a good writer, (2) literature study provides a background for giving constructive editorial help to student writers, (3) it provides experience in the close reading of texts, (4) it provides literary knowledge of writers' techniques, and (5) it provides teachers with the understanding to give student writers the fullest possible information about what they are doing and how their writing affects readers.
