Writing for Reading Success

Presenter: Kristina Darby
Session 4 | Redwood

Description

We pair reading and writing in all grade levels, in our ELA curriculum, and across subjects but do they really have to go together? (They do!) We will be looking at research to solidify our understanding of why it is important to write when you are learning to read. How much? How often? And why? These will all be questions we will look to answer during this seminar.
