Writing


Our District Primary Literacy Network used the book, Reading/Writing Connections in the K-2 Classroom FIND THE CLARITY AND THEN BLUR THE LINES by Leah Mermelstein ,Pearson Education, Inc. 2006

to initiate discussions about developing literacy skills in our primary students.

My mentor/learning partner and I found this book very useful . Leah Mermelstein articulates what we had been feeling for years - The acts of reading and writing are interdependent. Their relationship must be acknowledged and used to effectively teach how to read and write.

To celebrate the work of our students, we produced this Smilebox clip. We hope you enjoy it and find it informative.
