Bridging the gap between reading and writing

Bridging the gap between reading and writing

# data[].attributes.body
I've noticed that LESLLA students increase in their decoding and reading skills much more quickly than in their writing skills. This is probably very natural because of the difference between receptive and productive language. Also, when children are learning literacy in their L1, they aren't expected to write at the same level they read for quite a while, which should be applied to adult literacy learners as well. However, I 'd love some tips or to be pointed in the direction of any research on using stronger skills such as listening, speaking, or reading to help learners progress in their writing.

An overview of what balanced literacy  instruction looks like with LESLLA learners, and some practical tips for implementing it. While the idea has been around for awhile, it's still relevant and important to how we think about teaching. Maybe some of the newer ideas that came out of Patsy Egan's dissertation?

How do the different programs organize their classes? In my program, classes are organized by English language reading, writing, speaking, and listening level. How many others organize classes by NL literacy level? Or separate reading and writing from speaking and listening? Or group learners into classes based on which NL they speak? This is related to assessment.

I would love to explore approaches to integrating student teachers into LESLLA classrooms for the purposes of practicum, internships, and research. Is it encouraged/discouraged in programs? What are benefits to both student teachers & cooperating teachers, as well as students?  What models do folks have in place to coordinate with all stakeholders?
