Session Description Teachers are all too familiar with the complex issues in teaching reading and writing: how do we teach standards effectively; how do we differentiate meaningfully; how do we engender deeper thinking in students? Perhaps our greatest challenge in literacy instruction, though, is the tyranny of time. We struggle to find:
Most of us learned to read and write as separate subjects making it difficult to craft instruction that integrates reading and writing but when we do make integration work, the impact on students is enormous. We find that students are far more engaged and their learning more permanent when they understand how the same objective or standard impacts them as readers and writers. We can help students craft more potent written pieces and comprehend more deeply if we integrate instruction. Let’s talk about the nitty gritty of launching a Literacy Studio in your classroom!
