According to the authors of this research study (Graham and Hebert, 2010) this report from the Carnegie Corporation shows writing practices that improve students' reading ability. Practices include
- having students write about texts they have read (through analysis, interpretation, personal reflection, or summary, or by creating or answering questions to improve comprehension through the act of students' reflecting on ideas presented in the text and putting those ideas in their own words).
- explicitly teaching spelling and how to write sentences and paragraphs,
- and increasing how much and how often students write.

These are some interesting ideas. The big thing is how to find the extra time in the day to get through them all
