Day 1 Reflection by We Grow Together https://padlet.com/wegrowtogether/6d7du6eoocow How do you connect reading and writing across the day/week/unit of study? How does reading support writing or writing support reading? en-us 2017-07-24 14:04:08 UTC 2023-04-01 22:51:15 UTC hello@padlet.com I use a lot of mentor texts to teach writing which is a great bridge to reading. https://padlet.com/wegrowtogether/6d7du6eoocow/wish/179782781 2017-07-31 17:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/wegrowtogether/6d7du6eoocow/wish/179782781 I find the u of study reading dovetails quite nicely with writing units https://padlet.com/wegrowtogether/6d7du6eoocow/wish/179782788 2017-07-31 17:09:23 UTC https://padlet.com/wegrowtogether/6d7du6eoocow/wish/179782788 I feel like my students are always connecting reading and writing. It feels so natural in first grade. It is so organic. More deliberately, as a teacher, I make connections from mentor texts to our writing. From shared reading to what we write individually and during shared writing.

How does reading support writing or writing support reading?

Reading seems to develop first for most students
Avid readers tend to more easily grasp author's craft concepts taught during WW

They support each other in numerous ways. When students are working with partners in writing we often ask the partners to use their reading strategies when reading and/or listening to other student's work. We ask them to find what's important, and to listen for conflict/problems.

We utilize various author's work in both reading and writing workshops. We ask students to study a way an author uses a certain craft and then apply it in their own writing. Students often call upon features they find in some of their favorite texts and apply it to their own writing. ]]> 2017-07-31 17:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/wegrowtogether/6d7du6eoocow/wish/179782829 We often use the same mentor texts for writing and reading. Students are taught to use pictures to help them when reading and we encourage students to draw detailed pictures when they write stories to help their readers understand what is happening in their stories. We point out the beginning, middle and end when we read aloud and remind students that when they write narratives that they should also have the same elements. https://padlet.com/wegrowtogether/6d7du6eoocow/wish/179782840

So in TK instead of starting out with narrative we do Looking Closely. We find that aligns better with the reading units and the students' learning progressions.

I find that the mentor texts we use in both units influence and inspire student writing. hmckay1 https://padlet.com/wegrowtogether/6d7du6eoocow/wish/179782851 We use the Responsive Classroom program and we read our morning messages together each day and sometimes add, respond and revise them as a shared writing activity. ]]> 2017-07-31 17:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/wegrowtogether/6d7du6eoocow/wish/179782851 Select mentor texts to best suit the writing.

They are connected by writing about reading and reading one's own or others writing. Strategies taught are a cross walk that underlies both reading and writing. boggsj https://padlet.com/wegrowtogether/6d7du6eoocow/wish/179782856 2017-07-31 17:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/wegrowtogether/6d7du6eoocow/wish/179782856 Reading and Writing Connected https://padlet.com/wegrowtogether/6d7du6eoocow/wish/179782865 Reading and writing are mostly connected by genre . There are times when students need to be frontloaded  with a particular genre (I.e. Non-Fiction) and a  NF Reading unit will precede the NF writing. Overall, they are connected across the day and units.
