Basic Tools for Beginning Writers
Pembroke Publishers | Betty Schultze | 2008/04/30
ISBN 13: 9781551382210
How to teach all the skills beginning writers need—from alphabet recognition and spelling strategies for self-editing and building coherent text
Ensuring that young students get off to a great start is crucial, especially when it comes to developing basic writing skills. This practical book thoroughly explores the important beginning writing steps, such as: - holding a pencil correctly,
- making the sounds of each letter in the alphabet,
- learning how to spell and use spelling conventions.
By incorporating these beginning steps into routines and play, and by creating activities that engage students and help them see relevance in what they’re doing, students will come to appreciate the purpose of basic writing tools—so that their writing can be read and understood by others.
Teachers will find many opportunities to reinforce these lessons in everyday routines—from the Morning Message to promoting printing, writing and reading. “Making it Simpler” and “Increasing the Challenge” sections show teachers how to match what they need to teach to what students are developmentally ready to learn, and help teachers adapt activities to the needs of both struggling and more accomplished students.
