Entry Eight: Reading -Writing Connection

“Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write.” – Annie Proulx

In class, we viewed a two minutes YouTube video on how to link reading and writing together in the classroom. We looked at the relationship between reading and writing and how they go hand in hand like a married couple.

Here are a few key points that I took away from the video.

1.      Have students or the whole class read a text, passage, or literature piece out loud

      Also, have students or the whole class read a text, passage, or literature piece in pairs or independently as well.

3.      Ask students to write a response to the text or passage. For example, how they felt or what they thought, and have them make predictions or give feedback.

4.      Let students answer a few questions from the text. This can be done orally and then written in their notebooks.

5.      Select words from the text or passage and instruct students to use the selected words to write in their journal entries, a paragraph, or even a short story. The words will be added to their vocabulary.

They also use drawing in place of written words. They are convinced that this is a way of communicating what they wish to express.  Early Emergent writing (3-5yrs) This stage begins with children scribbling. At this stage, they are learning about what writing is about by linking sound-symbol correspondence. Their shapes in writing look like letters and are usually formed in their unique way.  Emergent writing stage (4-6yrs) Children at this stage have taken steps from scribbling to actually writing symbols called letters. they may write letters in many ways. At this stage, they begin to understand that letters play a big role in writing. As they become better, they

" As instructors, we must be able to navigate which instructional strategies will best meet the learning needs of the students at that moment in time "~Neil Haave, professor at the University of Alberta. Therefore, teachers need to take the time to get to know their students to implement strategies which best caters to their needs. There are many writing strategies teachers can embark on to help improve students' writing. For instance, there is free writing, process writing instruction, paragraph structure instruction, vocabulary instruction, and much more. Depending on the area of need of the students, teachers can decide which writing strategy is appropriate at a particular time.  Today, the writing strategy that will be the topic of conversation, is conferencing. This strategy plays a major role in teachers providing adequate assistance for their students in their area of need. Conferencing involves peer and teacher conferencing whether one-on-one or in small groups. I
