Reading and writing skills are very much linked.  Once this is understood by the learner, reading and writing become enjoyable learning skills and with time each skill will improve.  Visual learning of new words and how to compile new vocabulary, helps a writer to engage in using new words in their own work.  Different styles of reading material goes hand in hand with different styles of writing styles.  It is important to read not only books but other sources e.g. newspaper articles and high quality magazines of interest.

Yes, definitely!  Through reading, you pick up a lot of ideas to write about or gather additional references on the materials you are writing.  You will also get significant insights from the writer of the materials you read.
