| Overview: | |||||||||
| In most schools, reading and writing are taught as stand-alone subjects. But reading and writing are mirror images, and being skilled at one deepens our understanding of the other. As Annie Proulx reminds us, “Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write.” Similarly, when young readers look at text through the lens of how the author wrote it, they are better positioned to comprehend. While few would argue the importance of helping children see these connections, it’s not always clear how to do this in our teaching. In this two-day in person institute, Carl and Dan will offer a practical, step-by-step, inquiry-based approach to connecting reading and writing instruction that teachers can bring to their classrooms tomorrow. |
