Teaching writer's workshop that's developmentally appropriate
without the tears and frustration.
LEARN MOREHave you been told to have your students "go off and write" but it is just NOT working?
Let me guess - you’ve been told to have your students “go off and write” but when you do you have 20 hands in the air, some are crying and others ended up leaving their paper completely blank?
I’ve been there too.
And what I quickly realized is that we need to explicitly model not only the writing process but HOW to write in kindergarten.
Can you imagine...
- You have confident writers who are actually excited to have writers workshop everyday
- Your students KNOW what to do each day because you have explicitly model HOW to write within each mini lesson
- You are able to easily differentiate and meet the needs of all learners - without having students waiting for your assistance
- Writing is everyone's favorite time of the day
That’s why I can't wait to introduce you to Roadmap to Writers Workshop!!
I’ve been told to have students "go off and write" before and it is SO difficult.
Explicit instruction of how to draw, label and write a sentence is CRUCIAL in kindergarten so that they are given the tools to become independent and confident writers.
We know we need to do more than just "give books to kids and they'll learn how to read" and the same thing goes with writing. We cannot expect students to know how to write by giving them a pencil and paper.
And it starts with…
Drawing
Modeling HOW to draw with shapes, using colors and telling stories with pictures only.
Labeling
Writing the first sound of a word and progressing to all the sounds they hear with phonetic spelling.
Sentence Structure
Explicit instruction of the components of a sentence.
If you're ready to achieve writing success
YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
So what if I told you…
You will never have to say the words "go off and write" again because you will be explicitly modeling to your students HOW to write.
Independent Writers
Your students will know exactly what to do because of your explicit instruction.
Differentiation for all learners
You will understand how to teach the same genre of writing but give students the differentiation they individually need.
High Quality Work
Your students will go through the writing process slowly.
If you're ready to go from feeling frustrated by outdated writing approaches, but you need someone who's been-there-done-that to guide you...
I created something just for you!
